Context of Job 10:6
4Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as man sees? 5Are Your days like those of a mortal, or Your years like those of a man, that You should seek my iniquity and search out my sin— 7though You know that I am not guilty, and there is no deliverance from Your hand? 8Your hands shaped me and altogether formed me. Would You now turn and destroy me?

- 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
