Job 10:5

Job 10:5 [Are] thy days as the days of man? [are] thy years as man's days,

Ver. 5. Are thy days as the days of man?] Art thou mortal and short lived, as sorry man is, that thou proceedest in this sudden and severe manner, as if thou shouldest not have time enough to try me, and to take an order with me? Art not thou eternal, and dost thou not know in the indivisible moment of thine eternity, all what hath been, is, and shall be? "Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world," Acts 15:18; yea, long before. The truth is, neither foreknowledge nor remembrance are properly in God, since all things, both past and future, are present with him, Rom 4:17 2Pe 3:8 Jeremiah 1:5,7 Psalms 139:2; and all things without him are but as a point or ball, which with as much ease he discerneth as we turn our eyes.

Are thy years as man's days] It is well observed that God's time is set out by years, man's by days; his time is so short, that it is reckoned by the shortest complete time, a day. The days of our years are threescore and ten, Psalms 90:10. As for God, he is not only the Ancient of days, Daniel 7:9, but the day's Ancient, for he made the day.
