Job34:23
23. For he will not lay upon man more than right : that he should enter into judgment with God .
More or heavier punishments than they deserve, or than are proportionable to their sins, which he accurately observes, as was now said, and therefore can suit punishments to them.
Thereby to give him any pretence or occasion of entring into judgment with him, or condemning his proceedings; for which there might seem to be some colour, if God did lay upon Man more than right. And therefore thou, O Iob, hadst no cause for thy complaints against God.
