A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Rather, "should God recompense (sinners) according to thy mind? Then it is for thee to reject and to choose, and not me" [UMBREIT]; or as MAURER, "For thou hast rejected God's way of recompensing; state therefore thy way, for thou must choose, not I," that is, it is thy part, not mine, to show a better way than God's.

15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
19 How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
