Commentary on Job 36:23

Theological / Devotional

Who hath enjoined? While God is the all-perfect teacher, there are some who would seek to instruct Him, to dictate the course He ought to pursue, and to improve and amend His universe. Elihu infers that something of this spirit has appeared in Job’s remonstrances (see chs. 9:22-24; 10:3; 12:20-25; 16:11-17). Job came perilously near to accusing God of injustice. He had given excuse for Elihu to make such accusations.
