Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
Doth God pervert. The repetition of pervert gives an emphasis galling to Job. "Neither will the Almighty pervert judgment" (Job 34:12). 'Wouldest thou have God (as thy words imply) pervert judgment,' by letting thy sins go unpunished? God deals with each justly, according to his conduct: thy complaint against God for His treatment of thee is impugning His justice. He assumes Job's guilt from his sufferings.
