Contextual Overview

1"I am disgusted with my life and loathe it! I will give free expression to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2"I will say to God, 'Do not condemn me [and declare me guilty]! Show me why You contend and argue and struggle with me. 3'Does it indeed seem right to You to oppress, To despise and reject the work of Your hands, And to look with favor on the schemes of the wicked? 4'Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as a man sees?5'Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Are Your years as man's years, 6That You seek my guilt And search for my sin? 7'Although You know that I am not guilty or wicked, Yet there is no one who can rescue me from Your hand.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hast thou eyes of flesh?.... God has eyes, but not fleshly ones; he has eyes of love, grace, and mercy, which are always upon his people for good, and are never withdrawn from them; and he has eyes of displeasure and wrath on sinful men, to destroy them; these are not made of flesh, or like the eyes of flesh and blood, or of men; fleshy eyes cannot see at any great distance, and only in one place at a time, and only one object after another; they cannot see in the dark, and what they are, and only outward objects; and in these they are sometimes deceived, and at length fail: but the eyes of God see all things, at the greatest distance; he looks down from heaven, and beholds all the children of men on earth, and all their actions; his eyes are in every place, beholding the evil and the good; he can see in the dark as well as in the light, the darkness and the light are both alike to him; he beholds not only outward actions and visible objects, but the hearts of men, and all that is in them; nor is he ever deceived, nor will his sight ever fail: though Job, perhaps, may mean carnal eyes; that is, evil ones, as especially envious ones are: "is thine eye evil?" Matthew 20:15; that is, envious; and it is as if Job should say, dost thou envy me my former prosperity and peace, that thou searchest so narrowly into my conduct to find iniquity in me, and take advantage against me?

or seest thou as man seeth? look with hatred and envy, as one man does upon another: so seemed the dispensations of God towards Job, as if he did, as he suggests.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hast 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 10:4. Hast thou eyes of flesh! — Dost thou judge as man judges? Illustrated by the next clause, Seest thou as man seeth?
