Key Reflection

This verse suggests that God rewards each person based on their actions and choices in life. It implies that there is accountability for one's deeds, with consequences that align with the path one chooses to follow.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Yea, surely God will not do wickedly -So important does Elihu hold this principle to be, that he repeats it, and dwells upon it. He says, “it surely (אמנם'omnâm) must be so.” The principle must be held at all hazards, and no opinion which contravenes this should be indulged for one moment. His ground of complaint against Job was, that he had not held fast to this principle, but, under the pressure of his sufferings, had indulged in remarks which implied that God might do wrong. Neither will the Almighty pervert judgment -As Elihu supposed Job to have maintained; seeJob 34:5.
