4. They are full of proud words.Those who do evil brag about what they have done.
5. Lord, they crush your people.They make your children suffer.
6. They kill widows and foreigners.They murder orphans.
7. They say, “The Lord doesn’t see.The God of Jacob doesn’t notice.”
8. You stupid ones among the people, pay attention.You fools, when will you understand?
9. Can’t the creator of ears hear?Can’t the maker of eyes see?
10. Won’t the one who corrects nations punish you?Doesn’t the teacher of men know everything?
11. The Lord knows what people think.He knows they are just a puff of wind.
