And behold the height of the Stars how high they are.

And behold the height of the Starres how high they are.

:373p. 115

The Hebrew is, Behold the head of the Stars; The head of a man is the highest part of him, and the head of any thing is the top of it. Behold the head or height of the Stars how high they are; Stars are high, but God is higher; many creatures are high, but God is high above all creatures. The creature is strong, but God is stronger, the creature is wise, but God is wiser, the creature is glorious, but God is infinitely more glorious; The glory, wisdom, strength, and highest height of the creature, is but a glimpse of what God is. The Stars are high. I shall not enter into an Astronomical Discourse about the Stars, or the height of Stars. I shall not meddle with a Jacobs staff, to take the elevation of the Stars, no need of such Discourse here, all that is intended by Eliphaz, is a proof that God is infinitely exalted in his highness and majesty above the Stars.
