Why are times not kept hidden from the Almighty, since those who know God do not see God's days, opening chapter 24 with the question of why, if God is omniscient, injustice continues unchecked in the world. The reference to times suggests moments of divine judgment or intervention, implying that Job expects God to intervene at particular moments to redress wrongs committed against the vulnerable. The paradox that those who know God do not see God's days suggests that divine judgment days, when God will settle accounts with evildoers, remain hidden from human perception. Job's opening question frames a practical problem: if God knows all times and can intervene, why does injustice persist visibly while divine justice remains invisible?
