In biblical context, "eyes of flesh" suggests human limitations and imperfections. Unlike humans, God is omniscient and sees beyond physical appearances and circumstances. This question highlights the contrast between divine and human perception, emphasizing God's transcendence. The phrase also echoes themes found in <a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>, where God tells Samuel that He looks at the heart, not outward appearances. Job's question underscores his frustration and desire for God to understand his suffering from a human viewpoint.<p><b>Do You see as man sees?</b><br>Here, Job questions whether God perceives the world with the same limitations as humans. This reflects a common biblical theme of God's superior understanding and wisdom, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a>, where God's thoughts and ways are higher than those of humans. The rhetorical nature of the question implies that Job knows God does not see as humans do, yet he is expressing his deep anguish and desire for empathy. This phrase also points to the idea that God's judgments are just and based on complete knowledge, unlike human judgments, which can be flawed and biased.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.

It is on this that Job now dwells. God, being so much above man, having eyes that are not of flesh, and seeing not as man sooth, ought not to judge as man judges, with partiality, or prejudice, or even with extreme severity (ver. 6). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/10-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Do You have eyes</span><br /><span class="heb">הַעֵינֵ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(ha·‘ê·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - cdc<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5869.htm">Strong's 5869: </a> </span><span class="str2">An eye, a fountain</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of flesh?</span><br /><span class="heb">בָשָׂ֣ר</span> <span class="translit">(ḇā·śār)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1320.htm">Strong's 1320: </a> </span><span class="str2">Flesh, body, person, the pudenda of a, man</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Do You see</span><br /><span class="heb">כִּרְא֖וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(kir·’ō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-k | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> </span><span class="str2">To see</span><br /><br /><span class="word">as man</span><br /><span class="heb">אֱנ֣וֹשׁ</span> <span class="translit">(’ĕ·nō·wōš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_582.htm">Strong's 582: </a> </span><span class="str2">Man, mankind</span><br /><br /><span class="word">sees?</span><br /><span class="heb">תִּרְאֶֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(tir·’eh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> </span><span class="str2">To see</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/job/10-4.htm">Job 10:4 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/job/10-4.htm">OT Poetry: Job 10:4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
