Context of Job 10:5
3What do you gain by mistreating me, by rejecting the work of your hands while you favor the plans of the wicked? 4Do you actually have human eyes? Do you see as a mortal sees? Are 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? 7You know I’m not guilty, but there is no one to rescue me from your hands.

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
