Eliu proceeds in setting forth the justice and power of God.
He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted. (Job 36:7)
One is as a king who rules forever, when ruling over his passions, is right and blameless in his heart with Christ.
“‘He will not withdraw his eyes from the righteous but establishes kings on the throne forever, and there they are exalted.’ But holy people are properly termed ‘kings,’ in the language of Scripture, because having been raised above all the motions of flesh, at one time they control the appetite of lust; at another they moderate the heat of avarice; at one time they bow down the boastfulness of pride; at another they crush the suggestions of envy; at another they extinguish the fire of passion. They are ‘kings’ then, because they have learned not to give way to the motions of their temptations by consenting to them but to gain mastery by ruling over them. Since, therefore, they pass from this power of authority to the power of retribution, let it be rightly said, ‘He establishes kings on the throne forever.’ They are wearied for a time by ruling themselves, but they are placed forever on the throne of the kingdom of eternal elevation; and there they receive the power of justly judging others, just as they are here unskilled in unjustly sparing themselves.” (Morals on the Book of Job 26.44–53) – St. Gregory The Dialogist
