Job 10:4
Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as man sees?
BSB
ASV
Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as man seeth?
KJV
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
Hast thou eyes of flesh? - Eyes like man. Dost thou look upon man with the same disposition to discern faults; the same uncharitableness and inclination to construe everything in the severest manner possible, which characterizes man? Possibly Job may have reference 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 of him which they had done.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
