What Does Job 36:7 Mean?

Elihu assures Job that God's gaze never leaves the righteous. Far from forgetting them, He may seat them alongside kings, settle them firmly, and raise them high. The eyes that see the poor also guard the upright.

The promise that the righteous are established forever points beyond any earthly throne. It anticipates the everlasting honor God grants those who are His, an exaltation secured in Christ, who shares His reign with all who belong to Him.
