Context of Job 10:4

2I will say to God, ‘Don’t condemn me. Let me know why you are quarreling with me. 3What do you gain by mistreating me, by rejecting the work of your hands while you favor the plans of the wicked? Do you actually have human eyes? Do you see as a mortal sees? 5Are your days like a mortal’s days? Are your years like a human’s years? 6Is that why you look for guilt in me and search for sin in me?

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
