Job 34:13 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

If the world were not God's property, as having been made by Him, but committed to His charge by some superior, it might be possible for Him to act unjustly, as He would not then be injuring Himself; but as it is, for God to act unjustly would undermine the whole order of the world, and so would injure God's own property (Job 36:23).

Disposed, х siym (H7760)] - literally, placed; hath founded (Isaiah 44:7); established the circle of the globe.
