A common misinterpretation twists this verse to suggest God overlooks sin or universally approves of all people without accountability, ignoring the broader context of Elihu's defense of God's justice in Job, where God's might and wisdom ensure fair judgment rather than favoritism or leniency; others might erroneously view it as separating God's power from wisdom, implying brute force without discernment, or apply it selectively to deny divine discipline altogether.
Job 36:5
King James Version (1769)
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Elihu affirms God's supreme power and impartial justice, declaring that the Almighty, in His infinite strength and wisdom, does not despise or show contempt for any person, regardless of their status or circumstances, underscoring His righteous character that values every individual while upholding divine equity in judgment and mercy.
