Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lashamayim {לַשָּׁמַיִם | laššāmayim} ‘to the heavens’ establishes vertical maximality, and sio {שִׂיאוֹ | śîʾô} ‘his height’ can denote literal elevation while also inviting a figurative reading of self-exaltation in context.
In context — Job 20:6
If his height ascends to the heavens and his head reaches the clouds .
