Gill's Exposition on Job 36:24
Remember that thou magnify his work,.... Or his works; his works of creation and providence, which are great in themselves, and declare the greatness of God; and which, though they cannot be made
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 36:24
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? God is not to be impiously arraigned, but to be praised for His might, shown in His works.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Job 36:24
Remember; call to mind this thy duty, and take this matter into thy more serious thoughts, and it will prevent thy horrible mistakes and miscarriages. That; so this Hebrew particle is used here, 3:12. His work; or, his works, the singular number being put for the plural, every work which he doth; do not condemn any of his providential works towards thee or others, but adore and glorify them, as done with admirable wisdom, and justice, and faithfulness. Which men behold, to wit, with admiration and astonishment; which by their greatness and glory draw the eyes and minds of all men towards them; which deserve to be entertained with adoration and reverence of all men, not with censure and reproach.
Trapp's Commentary on Job 36:24
Job 36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.Ver. 24. Remember that thou magnify his work] His work of creation; wherein the wisdom, power, and goodness of God is clearly manifested, Romans 1:19, in that glorious structure of the heavens especially, which men behold. Or his work of administration and gubernation, whereof David saith, All thy works praise thee, O Lord; that is, they yield matter of magnifying thee; and thy saints shall bless thee, Psalms 145:10. Remember that this be done, saith Elihu. Junius, by God’ s works here, understandeth Noah’ s flood. Which men behold] Or, Whereof men do sing, saying, as in the next verse,
Ellicott's Commentary on Job 36:24
(24) Which men behold.—Some render it, “Whereof men sing,” but the other seems to suit the context best.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Job 36:24
Verse 24. Remember that thou magnify his work] Take this into consideration; instead of fretting against the dispensations of Divine providence, and quarrelling with thy Maker, attentively survey his works; consider the operation of his hands; and see the proofs of his wisdom in the plan of all, of his power in the production and support of all, and of his goodness in the end for which all have been made, and to which every operation in nature most obviously tends; and then magnify his work. Speak of him as thou shalt find; let the visible works of thy Maker prove to thee his eternal power and Godhead, and let nature lead thee to the Creator.
Cambridge Bible on Job 36:24
24. which men behold] Rather, which men do sing, that is, celebrate with praise.
Barnes' Notes on Job 36:24
Remember that thou magnify his work - Make this a great and settled principle, to remember that God is “great” in all that he does.
Whedon's Commentary on Job 36:24
24. Which men behold — Which men sing. Instead of finding fault with God’s ways, Job ought rather to extol His works, which elicit the admiration of all well-minded men.
