Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 11:4

"For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes." — Job 11:4 (ASV)

Clean in thine eyes is variously referred to God, to mortal men (Job 11:3), and to Job himself (Job 32:1). The first interpretation seems most preferable, since in any case Job had hypothetically spoken of himself as righteous before God (Job 10:15). (Compare to Job 9:30 and so on.)

Zophar, therefore, who professes superior wisdom, desires that God would show Job how far short he falls of it: that He would show him the hidden things, the secrets of wisdom. For sound wisdom is manifold: it has many aspects and lies, as it were, fold over fold in unexpected complexities, defying the shallow and unscrutinizing gaze. And if He were to do this, Job would find out to his dismay that God still credited him part of the penalty due to him.
