Job 4:18 Commentary: Rashi & Malbim

הֵ֣ן בַּ֭עֲבָדָיו לֹ֣א יַאֲמִ֑ין וּ֝בְמַלְאָכָ֗יו יָשִׂ֥ים תָּהֳלָֽה׃

Behold, He putteth no trust in His servants, And His angels He chargeth with folly;

Rashi on Job

Behold...His servants the righteous. He does not trust that they will not sin against Him, and He takes them out of the world before their time.
