Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 37:24

24. Men do therefore fear him : he respecteth not any that are wise of heart .

For this cause, to wit, because of God's infinite and excellent Perfections, and especially those mentioned in the foregoing Verse, men do, or should (for the future Tense is oft used potentially as Hebricians know) fear or reveren[illegible: 1+ letters] him, and humbly submit to him, and not presume to quarrel or dispute with him, as thou O Iob hast done.

Heb. He doth not, or will not behold, to wit, with respect or approbation, he beholdeth them afar off with scorn and contempt.

i. e. Such as are wise in their own eyes, that lean to their own understandings, and despise all other men in comparison of themselves, and scorn all their counsels, that are so puffed up with the opinion of their own wisdom, that they dare contend with their Maker, and presume to censure his counsels and actions. Which he hereby intimates to be Iob's fault, and to be the true reason why God did not respect nor regard him, nor his Prayers and Tears, as Iob complained. And so this is also a Tacit advice and exhortation to Iob to be humble and little in his own eyes, if ever he expected or desired any favour from God.
