## Is not God in the heights of heaven? ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Eliphaz uses a question to remind Job that God is in heaven and sees everything that happens on earth. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

|

|
|
## Look at the height of the stars, how high they are! ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AT: "Look at how high the stars are. God is even high above them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
## What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness? ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Eliphaz is stating what he believes Job would say. He uses questions for emphasis. AT: "God does not know what happens on earth. He sits in dark clouds and cannot judge us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

|
## he walks on the vault of heaven ##
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Here "vault" refers to the barrier that ancient people believed separated the earth from heaven. AT: "he lives too far away in heaven to see what happens here"
