Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 10:4

4. Hast thou eyes of flesh ? or seest thou as man seeth ?

i. e. Of a man, who is called flesh, as Gen. 6. 13. Isa. 40. 6.

Man seeth outsides onely, and judgeth by appearances, and is liable to many mistakes, and cannot search out secret faults without forcing men by cruel usage to accuse themselves. But thou needest none of these Arts, thou seest mine heart and mine uprightness, which my Friends do not see, who therefore are more excusable in charging me with hypocrisie: But thou knowest all things, thou needest not examine me by Tortures, as thou now doest, v. 6. For, thou knowest that I am not wicked, as he saith, v. 7. and therefore do not thou deal with me as if I were wicked.
