Job 37:24 in context

Job 37:23      Job 38:1

Job 37:24

Therefore [frail] people (Hebr. enósh) fear him.
He does not see all those who are wise in heart.
[The last line can be interpreted in at least two ways. As a question, would God not see and take care of those who are wise in heart? Another way is a statement that God does not look upon those who consider themselves wise in their own hearts. It is almost ironic that the last two Hebrew words in Elihu's 6-chapter monologue (Job 34–37) do not end in an unambiguous way in Hebrew. At this point, the reader of the book begins to feel Job's frustration at not getting any clear answers. But everything will change in the next verse when God himself appears!]
