Context of Job 10:4

2This is what I will say to God: “Do not say that I am guilty. Tell me what bad things you think I have done. 3Your own hands created me. So you should not be cruel to me. It is not right. Instead, you are kind to wicked people. You help them to do the bad things that they want to do. Do you see things as people see them? Are your eyes only like human eyes? 5Is your life like a human life? It is surely not as short as that! 6So why do you want to discover all my sins? Why do you hurry to do that?

Commentaries on Job 10:4

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 4Hast thou eyes of flesh! - Dost thou judge as man judges? Illustrated by the next clause, Seest thou as man seeth?Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4Hast thou eyes of flesh? - Eyes like man. Dost thou look upon man with the same disposition to discern faults; the same uncharitableness and inclination to construe everything in the severest manner possible, which characterizes man? Possibly Job may have reference here to the harsh judgment of his friends, and means to ask whether it could be possible for God to evince the same feelings in judging of him which they had done.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 4-64-6. Dost Thou see as feebly as man? that is, with the same uncharitable eye, as, for instance, Job's friends? Is Thy time as short? Impossible! Yet one might think, from the rapid succession of Thy strokes, that Thou hadst no time to spare in overwhelming me.Read the comment
