Commentary for Job 23:13

וְה֣וּא בְ֭אֶחָד וּמִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹ אִוְּתָ֣ה וַיָּֽעַשׂ׃

But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth. .

Rashi on Job

But He Since He is One in the world and knows the knowledge and the thoughts of the creatures, and what they have to reply to Him, therefore replies are prepared before Him.

Malbim on Job

Job maintains that everything that has happened to him was preordained by reason of God’s foreknowledge. And since His Knowledge is immutable, whatever He foreknows must happen; there is no free-will. For the existence of free-will would require that God’s Knowledge change as man makes his choices or changes his mind. But that cannot be, for He is His Knowledge and He is beyond change.
