Job 8:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Doth God Hebrew, אל, Eel, the mighty God, as this word signifies; pervert judgment? Judge unrighteously? No: this is inconsistent with God's nature, Which is essentially and necessarily just, and with his office of governor of the world. Or doth the Almighty pervert justice? Hebrew, שׁדי, Shaddai, a word that sets forth God's omnipotence and all-sufficiency. These names are emphatically used to prove that God cannot deal unjustly or falsely with men: because he hath no need so to do, nor temptation to it, being self-sufficient for his own happiness, and being able, by his own invincible power, to do whatsoever pleaseth him.

Job 8:3
