Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 21:22

22. Shall any teach God Knowledge ? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

i. e. Discretion, or how to govern the World? For so you do, whilest you tell him that he must not sorely afflict the Godly, nor give the wicked much and long prosperity here.

Either 1. The highest persons, whether in Earth, as the greatest Kings, or in Heaven, as the Angels, he judgeth them, i. e. he exactly knows them, and accordingly gives sentence concerning them, as he sees fit; and therefore it is great folly and presumption in us to direct or correct his Judgments. Or 2. Those things that are high, and deep, and far out of our reach, as Gods secret Counsels and Judgments are.
