Commentary for Job 34:12

אַף־אָמְנָ֗ם אֵ֥ל לֹֽא־יַרְשִׁ֑יעַ וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹֽא־יְעַוֵּ֥ת מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

Malbim on Job

But since it is evident that individual governance is not administered properly and justly, it cannot be in His hands. It has been delegated to the Cosmos and has become an integral part of Nature. This being so, no injustice would be incurred if, as a result of natural events, the Earth together with all its inhabitants was wiped out.
