Commentaire sur Job 22:5
הֲלֹ֣א רָעָֽתְךָ֣ רַבָּ֑ה וְאֵֽין־קֵ֝֗ץ לַעֲוֺנֹתֶֽיךָ׃
Certes, il faut que ta perversité soit grande et innombrables tes méfaits.
Rashi on Job
Is not [Is it not so] that He knows that your evil is great?

Malbim on Job
As Eliphaz sees it, being given enough rope to hang oneself is the essence of free-will. Hence, in His Wisdom, God may sometimes choose to ignore even the most heinous of crimes and leave them unpunished for the time being. However, this should not be interpreted as indicating that He has delegated governance. Rather, it is simply that Providence is not mechanical.
