Thirdly, Is not God in the height of heaven? May be understood not as the question of Eliphaz, and so his affirmation, but as the question of Job, and so his supposition. As if Eliphaz apprehended Job thus speaking in his heart;¹ Is not God (sayest thou) in the height of heaven? or, doest not thou, O Job, say thus; God is in the height of heaven; I grant that he is there, but I deny that he is there in thy sense, or according to thy opinion. He is not concluded, or shut up there, he is not so in the height of heaven, but that he mindeth what is done upon the earth, yea in the very depths of hell. As if he had said; Thy thoughts and conceptions of God are too strait and narrow; Thou speakest much below God, while thou sayest he is in the height of heaven. While thou confinest God to heaven, thou makest him like thy self on earth.
