Job 10:5

“[Are] thy days as the days of man? etc.] No, they are not: not so few; the days of the years of man’s life in common are threescore years and ten, (<199010>Psalm 90:10); but a thousand years with the Lord are but as one day, (<610308>2 Peter 3:8); his days are days not of time, but of eternity: nor so mutable, or he so mutable in them; man is of one mind today, and of another tomorrow; but the Lord is in one mind one day as another; he is the Lord that changes not, (<390306>Malachi 3:6); immutable in his nature, purposes, promises, and affections: but Job suggests as if his dispensations towards him showed the contrary; one day smiling upon him, and heaping his favours on him, and the next…”

Job 10:6”
