Malbim on Job
Elihu starts by reiterating the first argument Job had used to substantiate his assertion that individual governance does not emanate from God. Job could not believe that he deserved his suffering. It was unfair and such unfairness could not emanate from God. It must have another origin, one that is indifferent to good and evil.
