Commentary for Job 8:3

הַ֭אֵל יְעַוֵּ֣ת מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וְאִם־שַׁ֝דַּ֗י יְעַוֵּֽת־צֶֽדֶק׃

Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

Rashi on Job

Does God pervert judgment Heb. הא-ל. The “hey” is vowelized with a “patach,” and it means an expression of wonder.

Malbim on Job

— by arguing that this would be a breach of universal law and God could not be guilty of such an iniquity. On the contrary, there is personal Providence and it rules justly.
