Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 36:22

22. Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him ?

Or, is [illegible: 1+ letters]igh, or ex[illegible: 1+ letters]lted, the active Verb being taken▪intransitively; which is not unusual in the Hebrew Tongue. This is a proper argument to force the foregoing counsels. God is omnipotent; and therefore can with great facility, either punish thee far worse, if thou be[illegible: 1+ letters]st obstinate and refr[illegible: 1+ letters]ctory; or deliver thee, if thou doest repent and return to him.

He is also infinitely wi[illegible: 1+ letters]e as well as powerful, and as none can work like him, so none can teach li[illegible: 1+ letters]e him Therefore do not presume to teach him how to govern the World or to order thy affairs, but know that whatsoever he doth with thee, or with any other men is best to be done. And therefore [illegible: 1+ letters]e willing to learn from him: learn obedience by the things which thou su[illegible: 1+ letters]erest from him; and do not follow thy own fancies or affections, but use the methods which God hath taught thee to get out of thy troubles, by submission, and prayer, and repentance. The words may be rendred. What Lord is like him For the word Mor[illegible: 1+ letters] in the Chaldee dialect signifies a Lord? This Translation suits with the former Clause of this Verse, but ours agrees well enough with that, and is confirmed by the following Verse.
