¹³ And thou hast said, `What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?

¹¹ He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

¹² And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'

⁷ Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords `are' in their lips, for `Who heareth?'

¹¹ And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

¹⁵ Wo `to' those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, `Who is seeing us? And who is knowing us?'

⁹ And He saith unto me, `The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah `is' very very great, and the land is full of blood, and the city hath been full of perverseness, for they have said: Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah is not seeing.

⁵ They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'

⁷ And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'

⁸ Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?

⁹ He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?

¹² And it hath come to pass, at that time, I search Jerusalem with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their heart: Jehovah doth no good, nor doth He evil.
