This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_36:5 Behold, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not [any: he is] mighty in strength [and] wisdom.
Ver. 5. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any] Much less oppresseth he any one in a good cause, or tyrannically abuseth his power to the crushing of an innocent. He is equally good as great; neither was Job well advised in seeming to sunder these two excellencies in God, the one from the other; since whatsoever is in God is God; neither ought we to think of him otherwise than of one not to be thought of; as of one whose wisdom is his justice, whose justice is his power, whose power is his mercy, and all himself.
He is mighty in strength and wisdom] Or, He is mighty, the strength of the heart, Validus est, virtus animi (Tram.). He was so to David: Psa_138:3, "In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenest me with strength in my soul." At the sack of Ziklag, in the fail of all outward comforts, David encouraged himself in the Lord his God, 1Sa_30:6. A Christian is never without his cordial.
