Context of Job 10:6
4Have you eyes of flesh? Do you see as man sees? 5Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man's years, that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin, 7although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand? 8Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether.

- 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?
