Psalm 94:7

They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”

5They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
7They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
8Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
