Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
Job 36:24 stands within Elihu's argument and reproof addressed to Job in Job 32-37, which forms the third of the five divisions of the book of Job. It is an exhortation to remember, recognize, praise and magnify God's work, a work that human beings can behold with their own eyes.
God's mighty works in creation display His power and wisdom, and through that display His goodness is made clear. Beside such works human understanding is shown to be very small, for people can grasp only a little of God's ways, including His moral dealings and purposes. In affliction, therefore, to magnify His work is to choose hardship rather than wrongdoing and to honor Him by steadfast faithfulness.
