Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

Verse 1 is found in chapter 24 of Job. Job recognizes that God is sovereign and that his purposes cannot be altered by human beings, but immediately asks why the times of judgment seem hidden. He describes cases of oppression against the poor, orphans, and needy. The argument expands from his personal suffering to the universal problem of the apparent delay of justice.

Warum sind von dem Allmächtigen nicht Zeiten vorbehalten, und warum sehen, die ihn kennen, seine Tage nicht?
Puesto que no son ocultos los tiempos al Todopoderoso, ¿Por qué los que le conocen no ven sus días?
«¿Por qué el Todopoderoso no fija tiempos para juzgar? ¿Por qué los que lo conocen no ven sus días?
Pourquoi le Tout-Puissant ne met-il pas des temps en réserve, Et pourquoi ceux qui le connaissent ne voient-ils pas ses jours?
Perchè non dirassi che i tempi sono occultati dall’Onnipotente, E che quelli che lo conoscono, non veggono i suoi giorni?
VISTO que do Todo-Poderoso não se encobriram os tempos, por que, os que o conhecem, não vêem os seus dias?
「為何全能者不定下期限? 為何認識他的人看不到那些日子呢?
