A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
God is not to be impiously arraigned, but to be praised for His might, shown in His works.

exalteth--rather, doeth lofty things, shows His exalted power [UMBREIT] (Psa 21:13).

teacheth-- (Psa 94:12, &c.). The connection is, returning to Job 36:5, God's "might" is shown in His "wisdom"; He alone can teach; yet, because He, as a sovereign, explains not all His dealings, forsooth Job must presume to teach Him (Isa 40:13-14; Rom 11:34; Co1 2:16). So the transition to Job 36:23 is natural. UMBREIT with the Septuagint translates, "Who is Lord," wrongly, as this meaning belongs to later Hebrew.

23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
