Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 15:12

12. Why doth thine heart carry thee away ? and what do thine eyes wink at ,

Why doest thou suffer thy self to be transported by the pride and lusts of thine heart, to use such unworthy and unbecoming Expressions both concerning us, and concerning God and his Providence? i. e. what doest thou aim at? What benefit doest thou expect from such words and carriages? So it is a Metaphor from Archers, who wink when they take their aim at a Mark.

Or, why do thine eyes wink? i. e. Why doest thou look with such an angry, supercilious, and disdainful look, expressing both thy contempt of us, and thy rage against God? The Eye is observed both by God and men, as the great Discoverer of their hearts; and winking with the eye, is a note of a malicious mind, Psalm 35. 19. Prov. 6. 13. & 10. 10.
