7 They say, “The Lord does not see;

the God of Jacob takes no notice.”

8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;

you fools, when will you become wise?

9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?

Does he who formed the eye not see?

10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish?

Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?

7 and they say, “The Lord does not see;

the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

8 Understand, O dullest of the people!

Fools, when will you be wise?

9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?

He who formed the eye, does he not see?

10 He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?

He who teaches man knowledge—

7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see,

Neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

8 Understand, ye brutish among the people:

And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?

He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?

He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

7 “The Lord isn’t looking,” they say,

“and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care.”

8 Think again, you fools!

When will you finally catch on?

9 Is he deaf—the one who made your ears?

Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?

10 He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you?

He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing?

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 people know everything?

7 And they say, Jehovah will not see,

Neither will the God of Jacob consider.

8 Consider, ye brutish among the people;

And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?

He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10 He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,

Even he that teacheth man knowledge?

7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard it. 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? 10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct—he that teacheth man knowledge?

7 They say, “The Lord doesn’t see it. 

The God of Jacob doesn’t even pay attention to it.” 

8 Pay attention, you stupid people! 

When will you become wise, you fools? 

9 God created ears. 

Do you think he can’t hear? 

He formed eyes. 

Do you think he can’t see? 

10 He disciplines nations. 

Do you think he can’t punish? 

He teaches people. 

Do you think he doesn’t know anything? 

7 They say, “The Lord doesn’t see it.

The God of Jacob doesn’t pay attention.”

8 Pay attention, you stupid people!

Fools, when will you be wise?

9 Can the One who shaped the ear not hear,

the One who formed the eye not see?

10 The One who instructs nations,

the One who teaches man knowledge—

does He not discipline?

7 and they say, “The Lord does not see;

the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

8 Understand, O dullest of the people;

fools, when will you be wise?

9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?

He who formed the eye, does he not see?

10 He who disciplines the nations,

he who teaches knowledge to humankind,

does he not chastise?

7 while they say, “Yah does not see,”

and “The God of Jacob does not pay attention.”

8 You pay attention, O brutes among the people.

And you fools, when will you show insight?

9 Will the one who planted the ear not hear?

Will the one who formed the eye not see?

10 Will the one who instructs nations not rebuke,

the one who teaches humankind knowledge?

7 They say, “The Lord doesn’t see what’s happening.

The God of Jacob doesn’t pay any attention to it.”

8 You who aren’t wise, pay attention.

You foolish people, when will you become wise?

9 Does he who made the ear not hear?

Does he who formed the eye not see?

10 Does he who corrects nations not punish?

Does he who teaches human beings not know anything?

7 They have said, “The Lord does not see,

Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”

8 Pay heed, you senseless among the people;

And when will you understand, stupid ones?

9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear?

He who formed the eye, does He not see?

10 He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,

Even He who teaches man knowledge?
