Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - Men do therefore fear him; or, let men therefore fear him. Let them see in his unsearchableness, his almighty power, his absolute moral perfection, and his superiority to all human questioning, ample grounds for the profoundest reverence and fear. And let them remember that he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. However "wise of heart" men may be, God does not "respect" them, at any rate to the extent of submitting his conduct to their judgment, and answering their clues-tionings (see ver. 20).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) Men do therefore fear him.--Or, "Therefore men may fear Him; but as for the wise in heart, no one even of them shall see Him." This may be, and probably is, the meaning, though the literal rendering is that of the Authorised Version, which, however, involves a somewhat doubtful sentiment in itself, for God, we may believe, does regard or respect those who are truly wise. In the original there is a very manifest play on the words, which it is impossible to preserve, between y?re'u and yireh--men shall fear, but none shall see.
