Job 36:3
_ _ from afar — not trite commonplaces, but drawn from God’s mighty works.
_ _ ascribe righteousness — whereas Job ascribed unrighteousness (Job 34:10, Job 34:12). A man, in inquiring into God’s ways, should at the outset presume they are all just, be willing to find them so, and expect that the result of investigation will prove them to be so; such a one will never be disappointed [Barnes]. |
Job 36:3
Afar — From remote times, and places, and things. I will not confine my discourse to thy particular case, but wilt justify God by declaring his great and glorious works of creation and providence both in the heaven and in the earth, and the manner of his dealing with men in other parts and ages of the world. Ascribe — I will clear and maintain this truth, that God is righteous in all his ways. |
Job 36:3
I will fetch (a) my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
(a) He shows that when we speak of God, we must lift our spirits higher than our natural sense is able to reach. |
