“For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps. “There is no darkness or deep shadow

Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

You have placed our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He watches all his paths.

 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good.

 “Can a man hide himself in hiding places
So I do not see him?” declares the Lord.
“Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the Lord.

Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. He said to me, “Son of man, now dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance. And He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations that they are committing here.” So I entered and looked, and behold, every form of creeping things and beasts and detestable things, with all the idols of the house of Israel, were carved on the wall all around. Standing in front of them were seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan standing among them, each man with his censer in his hand and the fragrance of the cloud of incense rising. Then He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, ‘The Lord does not see us; the Lord has forsaken the land.'” And He said to me, “Yet you will see still greater abominations which they are committing.”

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

 And there is no creature hidden from His sight,

but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

 The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment;

for others, their sins follow after.

Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.

 Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the Lord,
And whose deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”
