“Is not God on high in heaven? 1  And see 2  the lofty stars, 3  how high they are!

NET Notes

1 tn This reading preserves the text as it is. The nouns “high” and “heavens” would then be taken as adverbial accusatives of place (see GKC 373-74 §118.g).

2 tn The parallel passage in Isa 40:26-27, as well as the context here, shows that the imperative is to be retained here. The LXX has “he sees.”

3 tn Heb “head of the stars.”
