Job 36:7

Job 36:7

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous. Under no circumstances does God cease to keep an eye upon the righteous, as Job had seemed to imply when he exclaimed, "Oh that I were as in months of old, in the days when God preserved me!"

or "watched me!" (). "The eyes of the Lord are" always "upon the righteous, as his ears are open unto their cry" (). With kings are they on the throne. In some cases, God shows his care of the righteous by "setting them with princes, even with the princes of his people" (), raising them, that is, to high station, and making them companions of the great of the earth.

Yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. They are permanently established in their high positions, like Joseph and Mordecai and Daniel; and they are exalted to the highest pitch of prosperity.
