Context of Job 10:6
4Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as man seeth? 5Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man’s days, That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, And searchest after my sin, 7Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand? 8Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

Commentaries on Job 10:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6That thou inquirest - Is it becoming thy infinite dignity to concern thyself so much with the affairs or transgressions of a despicable mortal? A word spoken in the heart of most sinners.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6That thou inquirest after mine iniquity - Art thou governed by hu man passions and prejudices, that thou dost thus seem to search out every little obliquity and error? Job here evidently refers to the conduct of man in strictly marking faults, and in being unwilling to forgive; and he asks whether it is possible that God could be governed by such feelings as these.Read the comment

Yet one might think, from the rapid succession of Thy strokes, that Thou hadst no time to spare in overwhelming me.Read the comment
