Job 24:1 New English Translation (NET Bible)

The Apparent Indifference of God

24 “Why are times not appointed by the Almighty?
Why do those who know him not see his days?

 Seven days a week and why the separation?

What is the purpose of this consternation?

Seven nights seem always to break up the days

Is it to give us rest regularly so we don't fly away?

But then came artificial light and whoops the night was gone

No rest for the weary came to life so existence became overdone

If we had stayed with candles or maybe lamps of oil

Life would be easier to handle as we all would work the soil

We would not have lived so long without many a depression

So pros and cons would get along without liberal intersession
