Komentarz do Hioba 34:2

In the Fifth Oration, Job had argued that the governance of individuals cannot emanate from God , for this would require that the injustice of the suffering of the righteous be attributed to Him. On the basis of this he had concluded that God does not Himself administer the governance of individual human beings but has handed it over to the Cosmos, which does not distinguish between the righteous and the wicked. Bildad had rejected this proposition on the grounds that for God to have delegated governance to an entity that annihilates righteous people for nothing is itself an injustice. To this Job had replied that on the scale of all existence, no injustice is involved, for on that scale the Earth is no more than a speck of dust. And, if as a result of natural processes, the Earth, together with all its inhabitants, good and bad, should be destroyed, this would be no injustice in terms of the universal balance of nature. Elihu now sets out to demolish this argument.
