Psalms

Psalm 94:7–10

⁷They say, “The LORD does not see;

the God of Jacob pays no heed.”

⁸Take notice, O senseless among the people!

O fools, when will you be wise?

⁹He who affixed the ear, can He not hear?

He who formed the eye, can He not see?

¹⁰He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline?

He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
