- 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?

- 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
