Exegesis
In this clause, ramim {רָמִים | rāmmîm} ‘exalted ones’ functions as the object of the qal imperfect verb yishpot {יִשְׁפּֽוֹט | yišpôt} ‘will judge’, indicating a characteristic divine activity. The parallel structure contrasts human inability to teach with God’s sovereign authority to judge even those at the pinnacle of status, reinforcing the theme of divine supremacy.
Root and etymology
“high, elevated”
In context — Job 21:22
Can anyone teach knowledge to God , when He judges even the exalted ?
