Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 35:5

5. Look unto the heavens, and see, and behold [illegible: 1+ letters]he clouds which are higher than thou .

How much more is God who is far above all Heavens, higher than thou? And therefore God is out of the reach of all profit or loss by thy actions; if thy goodness do not profit thee, it is certain it doth not profit him, and therefore doth not lay any Obligation upon him to indulge or recompence thee for it, save only so far as he hath graciously obliged himself; and therefore thou canst not accuse him of injustice for afflicting thee, nor pretend that thou hast deserved better usage from him. And this infinite distance between God and thee, should cause thee to think and speak more modestly and reverently of that glorious Majesty.
