4Do 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? Is 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. 8“ ‘Your hands formed me and made every part of me, then you turned to destroy me.

- 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?
