King James Translators' Notes

height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

12. Eliphaz says this to prove that God can from His height behold all things; gratuitously inferring that Job denied it, because he denied that the wicked are punished here.

height-Hebrew, "head of the stars"; that is, "elevation" (Job 11:8).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:5-14 Eliphaz brought heavy charges against Job, without reason for his accusations, except that Job was visited as he supposed God always visited every wicked man. He charges him with oppression, and that he did harm with his wealth and power in the time of his prosperity.
