4Do you have eyes of flesh, or do you see as a human sees? 5Are your days like those of a human, or your years like those of a man, that you look for my iniquity and search for my sin, 7even though you know that I am not wicked and that there is no one who can rescue from your power? 8“Your hands shaped me and formed me. Will 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?
