Wickedness often goes unpunished17. There is a secret judgment for the wicked Why does the Almighty The term "Almighty" is translated from the Hebrew word "Shaddai," which emphasizes God's ultimate power and sovereignty. In the context of Job, this highlights the tension between God's omnipotence and the apparent absence of justice in the world. Job is questioning why a God who is all-powerful does not act in ways that align with human expectations of justice. This reflects a deep struggle with understanding divine providence and the mystery of God's ways, which are often beyond human comprehension. not reserve times for judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days? (1) Why, seeing times are not hidden.--Job, in this chapter, gives utterance to this perplexity, as it arises, not from his own case only, but from a survey of God's dealings with the world generally. "Why is it," he asks, "since times and events are not hidden from the Almighty, that they who know Him--that is, believe in and love Him--do not see His days?"--that is, His days of retribution and judgment. Even those who love and serve God are as perplexed about His principles of government as those who know Him not. It is to be observed that the position of the second negative in the Authorised Version of this verse renders it highly ambiguous to the majority of readers. This ambiguity would entirely disappear if we read see not instead of "not see." Verse 1. - Why, seeing times are not hidden from the almighty. By "times" seem to be meant God's special periods of exhibiting himself in action as the moral Governor of the world, vindicating the righteous, and taking vengeance upon sinners. Such "times" are frequently spoken of in the prophetical Scriptures as "days of the Lord" (see Isaiah 2:12; Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 4:1; Isaiah 13:6, 9; Joel 1:15; Joel 2:1, 11; Obadiah 1:15; Zephaniah 1:7, 14, etc.). They are, of course, "not hidden" from him, seeing that it is he who determines on them beforehand, and, when their fixed date is come, makes them special "days," or "times," different from all others. Do they who know him not see his days? i.e. why are even they, who know and serve God, kept in the dark as to these "times," so that they do not foresee them or know when they are coming? This is to Job a great perplexity.Parallel Commentaries ...
