Context of Job 10:5

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. 4Do you see things as people see them? Are your eyes only like human eyes? Is 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? 7You know that I am not guilty. But you also know that no one can save me from your power.

Commentaries on Job 10:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Are thy days as the days of man - אנוש enosh, wretched, miserable man. Thy years as man's days; גבר gaber, the strong man. Thou art not short-lived, like man in his present imperfect state; nor can the years of the long-lived patriarchs be compared with thine. The difference of the phraseology in the original justifies this view of the subject. Man in his low estate cannot be likened unto thee; nor can he in his greatest excellence, though made in thy own…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Are thy days as the days of man - Does thy life pass on like that of man? Dost thou expect soon to die, that thou dost pursue me in this manner, searching out my sins, and afflicting me as if there were no time to lose? The idea is, that God seemed to press this matter as if he were soon to cease to exist, and as if there were no time to spare in accomplishing it. His strokes were unintermitted, as if it were necessary that the work should be done soon…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
