Job 37:23

23. Touching the Almighty… he will not afflict The Almighty! We cannot find him out; great ( is he) in power, but right and the fulness of justice he will not pervert. A most worthy ascription to Deity. His infinite power is restricted by his sense of right and justice. “The incomprehensibility and infinite perfection of God silence all objections to his government.” Scott. Thus the great difficulties stated by Job are met and answered. The humblest may cherish trust in God that “he will not afflict willingly,” for chastisement and trial, which arise from the dark and unsearchable depths, really come from the divine heart. In place of He will not afflict, ( he will not pervert, יענה ,) Hirtzel and Rosenmuller read, “He answers not,” when arraigned by the puny mind of man.

We cannot find him out See note on Job 11:7, and “Garbett’s Bampton,” (1867,) Leviticus 4:0.
