Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 34:13

_ _ 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 thereby 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 — hath founded (Isaiah 44:7), established the circle of the globe.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 34:10-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 34:13

Who — Who or where is his superior that made the world, and, then delivered the government of it to God? God himself is the sole creator, the absolute Lord of all, and therefore cannot do unjustly: because the creator and Lord of the world must needs have all possible perfections in himself, and amongst others, perfect justice. Disposed — Or, committed, to him, to be governed by him, in the name, of his Lord, to whom he must give an account.
