Psalm 94:7-9

"The LORD isn't looking," they say,
    "and besides, the God of Israel doesn't care."
Think again, you fools!
    When will you finally catch on?
Is he deaf--the one who made your ears?
    Is he blind--the one who formed your eyes?

"The LORD isn't looking," they say, "and besides, the God of Israel doesn't care."
Job 22:13-14  
"But you reply, 'That's why God can't see what I am doing!
    How can he judge through the thick darkness?
For thick clouds swirl about him, and he cannot see us.
    He is way up there, walking on the vault of heaven.' "  (see all chapter 22)
Isaiah 29:15  
What sorrow awaits those who try to hide their plans from the LORD,
    who do their evil deeds in the dark!
"The LORD can't see us," they say.
    "He doesn't know what's going on!"  (see all chapter 29)
Ezekiel 8:12  Then the LORD said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the leaders of Israel are doing with their idols in dark rooms? They are saying, 'The LORD doesn't see us; he has deserted our land!' "  (see all chapter 8)
 
Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on? 
Deuteronomy 32:6  
"Is this the way you repay the LORD,
    you foolish and senseless people?
Isn't he your Father who created you?
    Has he not made you and established you?"  (see all chapter 32)
Psalm 49:10  
Those who are wise must finally die,
    just like the foolish and senseless,
    leaving all their wealth behind.  (see all Psalm 49)
Psalm 92:6-7  
Only a simpleton would not know,
    and only a fool would not understand this:
Though the wicked sprout like weeds
    and evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.  (see all Psalm 92)

Is he deaf--the one who made your ears? Is he blind--the one who formed your eyes?

The wicked think, "God isn't watching us!
    He has closed his eyes and won't even see what we do!"  (see all Psalm 10)
Psalm 59:7  
Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths;
    their words cut like swords.
    "After all, who can hear us?" they sneer.  (see all Psalm 59)

Ears to hear and eyes to see--
    both are gifts from the LORD.
