Comentario sobre Job 36:7
לֹֽא־יִגְרַ֥ע מִצַּדִּ֗יק עֵ֫ינָ֥יו וְאֶת־מְלָכִ֥ים לַכִּסֵּ֑א וַיֹּשִׁיבֵ֥ם לָ֝נֶ֗צַח וַיִּגְבָּֽהוּ׃
No quitará sus ojos del justo; Antes bien con los reyes los pondrá en solio para siempre, Y serán ensalzados.
Rashi on Job
He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous until He seats him with kings.

Malbim on Job
The sixth Form, and for Elihu’s purposes the most relevant one, is that Providence is ever attendant upon the righteous, not turning from him even for a moment. Moreover, Providence is drawn by the deed and so the more the person perseveres in his righteousness and devotion to God, the more closely Providence marks him and everything he does. God watches over the righteous as a father does over an only beloved son, tempering him with tests and trials, that he might fulfill his true potential. This program of examination may involve his elevation to the greatest heights, even kingship, or his reduction to the very lowest depths. The righteous person’s true mettle will be revealed by the way he reacts to the fortune or misfortune that befalls him.
