爾恃己惡、自言無見我者、爾之智識誘爾、自謂有我、我外無他、

爾自恃巧令、迷眩於惡、自謂人不及見、我為主母、無能比儗。

爾恃己惡曰、無人見我、爾之智慧知識、誘惑爾、心自妄思、惟獨有我、再無他國、

You have trusted in your wickedness and have said,‘ No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself,‘ I am, and there is none besides me.’

You felt secure in your wickedness; you said,“ No one sees me”; your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart,“ I am, and there is no one besides me.”

“ For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said,‘ No one sees me’; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart,‘ I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

“ Just look at this fellow! He didn’t depend on God for his safety. He put his trust in all his wealth. He grew strong by destroying others!”

How terrible it will be for those who think they are wise! How terrible for those who think they are really clever!

How terrible it will be for people who try hard to hide their plans from the Lord! They do their work in darkness. They think,“ Who sees us? Who will know?”

It is written,“ I will destroy the wisdom of those who are wise. I will do away with the cleverness of those who think they are so smart.”( Isaiah 29:14)Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where are the great thinkers of our time? Hasn’t God made the wisdom of the world foolish?God wisely planned that the world would not know him through its own wisdom. It pleased God to use the foolish things we preach to save those who believe.

He answered me,“ The sin of Israel and Judah is very great. The land is full of murderers. Its people are not being fair to one another anywhere in Jerusalem. They say,‘ The Lord has deserted the land. He doesn’t see us.’

They claimed to be wise. But they made fools of themselves.

Who can hide in secret places so that I can’t see them?” announces the Lord.“ Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” announces the Lord.

The Lord spoke to me. He said,“ Son of man, do you see what the elders of Israel are doing in the dark? Each of them is in his own room worshiping his own god. They say,‘ The Lord doesn’t see us. He has deserted the land.’ ”

People aren’t fair when they present cases in court. They aren’t honest when they state their case. They depend on weak arguments. They tell lies. They plan to make trouble. Then they carry it out.

“ Son of man, speak to Ethbaal. He is the ruler of Tyre. Tell him,‘ The Lord and King says,“‘ “In your proud heart you say,‘ I am a god. I sit on the throne of a god in the Mediterranean Sea.’ But you are only a human being. You are not a god. In spite of that, you think you are as wise as a god.Are you wiser than Daniel? Isn’t even one secret hidden from you?You are wise and understanding. So you have become very wealthy. You have piled up gold and silver among your treasures.You have used your great skill in trading to increase your wealth. You are very rich. So your heart has become proud.” ’ ”The Lord and King says,“ You think you are wise. In fact, you claim to be as wise as a god.

That’s as foolish as eating ashes! The mind of someone like that has led him astray. He can’t save himself. He can’t bring himself to say,“ This thing I’m holding in my right hand isn’t really a god at all.”

They help one another make evil plans. They talk about hiding their traps. They say,“ Who can see what we are doing?”

No one can stop the wind from blowing. And no one has the power to decide when they will die. No one is let out of the army in times of war. And evil won’t let go of those who practice it.

They say,“ The Lord doesn’t see what’s happening. The God of Jacob doesn’t pay any attention to it.”You who aren’t wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise?Does he who made the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?

The wisdom of this world is foolish in God’s eyes. It is written,“ God catches wise people in their own evil plans.”( Job 5:13)

You brag,“ We have entered into a covenant with the place of the dead. We have made an agreement with the grave. When a terrible plague comes to punish us, it can’t touch us. That’s because we depend on lies to keep us safe. We hide behind what isn’t true.”

Surely ordinary people are only a breath. Important people are not what they seem to be. If they were weighed on a scale, they wouldn’t amount to anything. Together they are only a breath.Don’t trust in money you have taken from others. Don’t put false hope in things you have stolen. Even if your riches grow, don’t put your trust in them.

But you still say,‘ What does God know? Can he see through the darkest clouds to judge us?He goes around in the highest heavens. Thick clouds keep him from seeing us.’

Sinful people say to themselves,“ God will never notice. He covers his face. He never sees us.”
