"Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him;Once again, Elihu is showing how far above us God is. We have no ability to even understand Him, much less consider that He owes us something. About the best we can do is know that He exists. He has the ability to control anything He so chooses, including us. However, He does not do so, but lets us make our own choices.
The number of His years is unsearchable.
Today, we have a much better understanding of God than the people of Job's time, since we have the Bible to reveal parts of His nature to us. We now know that He loved us so much He made a way for us to come back to Him. But at the time, all they knew was that He was all-powerful, and had existed forever.
