Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
Behold, God exalts by his power belongs to Elihu's speeches, which extend from chapters 32 to 37. There Elihu argues that Job is not great and that God is everything, setting forth God's mighty power and unmatched wisdom in contrast with Job's smallness and limited understanding. This claim stands within Elihu's discourse leading toward the account of God answering Job.
The verse means that God is exalted by his power and that no teacher is like him. It reveals his mighty power, his unmatched wisdom, and his goodness in raising up by his power. The question who teaches like him expresses that no teacher compares with God as the great Teacher.
Because God's wisdom orders matters beyond human understanding, people should not question his providence as though they understood it. The assurances in chapters 36 verses 20 to 26 show his ultimate care. His smallness and limited understanding beside God's greatness forbid such questioning.
God instructs his people through his presence, with his presence going with them and giving them rest. He can teach through a mistake, and his instruction may come through life's trials. When people study the earth alongside the Bible, God draws near by his Spirit to teach spiritual truth through the natural world. His teaching is thorough and effective, in that he may leave people facing difficulties when overcoming them develops essential traits in their character. This exalting by his power is seen in his calling a timid retiring fifteen-year-old girl untaught in the schools of the world to the work of God in the great threefold message and making her work far-reaching in influence even encircling the globe.
