What Does Job 36:5 Mean?
Elihu sets two truths side by side: God is great in might, and yet He looks down on no one. Strength that might intimidate is joined to a wisdom that does not crush the small or the lowly.
Here is a portrait of power without contempt. The Almighty is never too great to notice the least of His creatures. This is the very heart revealed in Jesus, who is Lord of all and yet welcomes the overlooked, the poor, and the broken without scorn.
Job 36:5 in the Original Language
