Job 36:24

The Pulpit Commentary on Job 36:24

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Remember that thou magnify his work. Instead of murmuring, Job should "magnify God's work." He should recognize the mercy of God, even in his own afflictions, and praise him for it. Which men behold.

Men are looking on, anxiously considering Job's sufferings; he is a spectacle to them, as the apostles were to men and angels (), and the more reason therefore that he should, by patient endurance, by submission and confession, cause his sufferings to redound to the glory and honour of God.
