Context of Job 10:6

4Do You have eyes of flesh? Or do You see as mankind sees? 5Are Your days like the days of a mortal, Or Your years like a man’s year, That You should search for my guilt And carefully seek my sin? 7According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty, Yet there is no one to save me from Your hand. 8‘Your hands fashioned and made me altogether, Yet would You destroy me?

Commentaries on Job 10:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6That thou inquirest - Is it becoming thy infinite dignity to concern thyself so much with the affairs or transgressions of a despicable mortal? A word spoken in the heart of most sinners.Read the comment
• 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? Job here evidently refers to the conduct of man in strictly marking faults, and in being unwilling to forgive; and he asks whether it is possible that God could be governed by such feelings as these.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
