Malbim on Job

As Eliphaz sees it, being given enough rope to hang oneself is the essence of free-will. Hence, in His Wisdom, God may sometimes choose to ignore even the most heinous of crimes and leave them unpunished for the time being. However, this should not be interpreted as indicating that He has delegated governance. Rather, it is simply that Providence is not mechanical.
