¹³ And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark?

¹¹ He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.

¹² And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.

⁷ See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?

¹¹ And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High?

¹⁵ Cursed are those who go deep to keep their designs secret from the Lord, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who has knowledge of our acts?

⁹ Then he said to me, The sin of the children of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is full of blood and the town full of evil ways: for they say, The Lord has gone away from the land, and the Lord does not see.

⁵ They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,

⁷ And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.

⁸ Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?

⁹ Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?

¹² And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.
