Job's declaration promises that God saves 'the lowly of eyes'—those whose downcast gaze signals humility rather than arrogance. In ancient Near Eastern culture, body language communicated social position; lowered eyes indicated modesty, submission, or shame, while lifted eyes could signal pride or boldness. This phrase captures an inner disposition through its outward expression. The construct form (lowly + of eyes) is characteristically Hebrew, linking moral quality to physical posture.
