איוב, פרק ל״ד, פסוק י״ז

A deep question arises regarding divine providence and whether the world is governed by true justice. It is logically and morally impossible to accuse the Creator of twisting the law or abandoning reality to random chance. True leadership requires both the immense power to govern and the authority to restrain and lock away those who do wrong [אבן עזרא, רלב״ג, מצודת ציון]. Therefore, a being who hates justice could never maintain ultimate power over the world. The leader of the universe loves fairness, and the judge of all the earth would never act without strict justice [רמב״ן, ביאור שטיינזלץ].

This core truth directly challenges the belief in blind fate. It is unthinkable that God would hand control of the world over to the unthinking forces of nature, luck, or the stars. Because these natural systems operate blindly and make no moral distinction between the good and the bad, they are effectively enemies of justice [מצודת דוד, מלבי״ם]. Another perspective reinforces God's fairness through a simple deduction: if God restrains and punishes a person who merely hates justice in their heart, it is an absolute certainty that He Himself would never corrupt the law [אלשיך].

Given these realities, condemning God is completely unreasonable. Since His perfect justice is clearly visible throughout creation, it makes no sense to accuse Him of acting unfairly toward any specific individual [רש״י, רמב״ן, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Following the thought that God naturally punishes all injustice, it is equally impossible that He would wrongly condemn a truly good person who does great deeds [אלשיך]. On the other hand, if a person tries to claim that God simply left the world to blind luck, they are making a much larger and more severe accusation. Rather than just complaining about the personal suffering of one individual, they are falsely charging God with a massive, sweeping injustice against the entire universe [מלבי״ם].
