SCRIPTURE

"Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as man seeth?" — Job 10:4 (ASV)

Do you have eyes of flesh? Eyes like a human. Do you look upon humans with the same disposition to discern faults; the same uncharitableness and inclination to construe everything in the severest manner possible, which characterizes humans? Possibly Job may be referring 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 him that they had.
