Job 36:23
21 Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
22 Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24 Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
25 All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
