Job 34:13

Verse 13

13. Who hath given him a charge, etc. The ה is paragogic, not directive. The clause should read, Who hath given the earth in charge to him? Evil-doing can not be imputed to Deity, because of the absoluteness of the divine government. There is none higher than himself, therefore none whose favour God needs to seek. A deputy may be tempted to do wrong to please his superior, but not God; for it was he “who founded, שׂם the whole world.” Of his own free will he governs his own world. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Genesis 18:25. Compare Romans 3:5-6.
