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?”

祸哉！那些向耶和华深藏谋略的，又在暗中行事，说：“谁看见我们呢？谁知道我们呢？”

祸哉！那些向耶和华深藏谋略的，他们在暗中行事，说：“有谁看见我们呢？谁会注意我们呢？”

祸哉！那些向耶和华深藏谋略的，他们在暗中行事，说：“有谁看见我们呢？谁会注意我们呢？”

那些向耶和华深藏计谋的人有祸了！他们暗中行事，自以为无人看见也无人知道。

那些向耶和华深藏谋略的人，有祸了！他们在暗中行事，说：“谁看见我们？谁知道我们？”

祸哉！那些向耶和华深深隐瞒计划的人！他们所做的都在黑暗之中，他们说：“谁会看见我们呢？谁会知道我们呢？”

禍哉！那些向耶和華深藏謀略的，又在暗中行事，說：誰看見我們呢？誰知道我們呢？

禍哉！那些向耶和華深藏謀略的，他們在暗中行事，說：「有誰看見我們呢？誰會注意我們呢？」

禍哉！那些向耶和華深藏謀略的，他們在暗中行事，說：「有誰看見我們呢？誰會注意我們呢？」

那些向耶和華深藏計謀的人有禍了！他們暗中行事，自以為無人看見也無人知道。

那些向耶和華深藏謀略的人，有禍了！他們在暗中行事，說：“誰看見我們？誰知道我們？”

有禍啊，那些深深包藏着謀略、不順從永恆主的人！他們所行的都在黑暗中，自己說：『誰看見我們？誰知道我們？』

禍哉！那些向耶和華深深隱瞞計劃的人！他們所做的都在黑暗之中，他們說：「誰會看見我們呢？誰會知道我們呢？」

深匿其謀於耶和華前、行事於暗者曰、誰見我、誰識我、禍哉斯人、

行事暗昧、自謂人不及見、厥謀詭秘、自謂我不及察、若此者禍不遠矣、

背主設謀、深藏己意、行事暗中曰、孰見我、孰知我、如斯之人、禍哉禍哉、

Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the Lord, who do their work in darkness and think,“ Who sees us? Who will know?”

Ah, you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say,“ Who sees us? Who knows us?”

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!”

Woe to those who go to great lengths to hide their plans from the LORD. They do their works in the dark, and say,“ Who sees us? Who knows us?”

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?”

Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord, And their works are in the dark; They say,“ Who sees us?” and,“ Who knows us?”

Woe unto them that hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and that say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

Woe to those who go to great lengths to hide their plans from the Lord. They do their works in darkness, and say,“ Who sees us? Who knows us?”

Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

Those who try to hide their plans from the LORD are as good as dead, who do their work in secret and boast,“ Who sees us? Who knows what we’re doing?”

Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say,“ Who sees us?” and“ Who knows us?”

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.’ ”

“ How terrible it will be for these stubborn children of mine!” announces the Lord.“ How terrible for those who carry out plans that did not come from me! Their agreement with Egypt did not come from my Spirit. So they pile up one sin on top of another.

You have worn out the Lord by what you keep saying.“ How have we worn him out?” you ask. You have done it by saying,“ All those who do evil things are good in the Lord’ s sight. And he is pleased with them.” Or you ask,“ Is God really fair?”

You have felt secure in your evil ways. You have said,‘ No one sees what I’m doing.’ Your wisdom and knowledge lead you astray. You say to yourself,‘ I am like a god. No one is greater than I am.’

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.”

During that time a crowd of many thousands had gathered. There were so many people that they were stepping on one another. Jesus spoke first to his disciples.“ Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees,” he said.“ They just pretend to be godly.Everything that is secret will be brought out into the open. Everything that is hidden will be uncovered.What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight. What you have whispered to someone behind closed doors will be shouted from the rooftops.

Sinful people say to themselves,“ God will never notice. He covers his face. He never sees us.”Lord, rise up! God, show your power! Don’t forget those who are helpless.Why do sinful people attack you with their words? Why do they say to themselves,“ He won’t hold us accountable”?

I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I search hearts and minds. I will pay each of you back for what you have done.

So don’t judge anything before the appointed time. Wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in the dark. He will show the real reasons why people do what they do. At that time each person will receive their praise from God.

Listen to what pours out of their mouths. The words from their lips are like swords. They think,“ Who can hear us?”

Lord, you have seen what is in my heart. You know all about me.You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I’m thinking even though you are far away.You know when I go out to work and when I come back home. You know exactly how I live.Lord, even before I speak a word, you know all about it.You are all around me, behind me and in front of me. You hold me safe in your hand.I’m amazed at how well you know me. It’s more than I can understand.How can I get away from your Spirit? Where can I go to escape from you?If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I lie down in the deepest parts of the earth, you are also there.

I will use a measuring line to prove that you have not been fair. I will use a plumb line to prove that you have not done what is right. Hail will sweep away the lies you depend on to keep you safe. Water will flood your hiding place.

They say,“ How would God know what we’re doing? Does the Most High God know anything?”

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.’

Instead, we have given up doing secret and shameful things. We don’t twist God’s word. In fact, we do just the opposite. We present the truth plainly. In the sight of God, we make our appeal to everyone’s sense of what is right and wrong.

You have not done what is right or good. I will let everyone know about it. And that will not be of any benefit to you.

There is no deep shadow or total darkness where those who do what is evil can hide.

Here is the judgment. Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil.

At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps. I will punish those who are so contented. They are like wine that has not been shaken up. They think,‘ The Lord won’t do anything. He won’t do anything good or bad.’

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.’

How terrible it will be for those who continue to sin and lie about it! How terrible for those who keep on doing what is evil as if they were tied to it!How terrible for those who say,“ Let God hurry up and do what he says he will. We want to see it happen. Let us see the plan of the Holy One of Israel. We want to know what it is.”

They help one another make evil plans. They talk about hiding their traps. They say,“ Who can see what we are doing?”They make plans to do what is evil. They say,“ We have thought up a perfect plan!” The hearts and minds of people are so clever!

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.

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?

“ Some people hate it when daylight comes. In the daytime they never walk outside.When daylight is gone, murderers get up. They kill poor people and those who are in need. In the night they sneak around like robbers.Those who commit adultery wait until the sun goes down. They think,‘ No one will see us.’ They keep their faces hidden.In the dark, thieves break into houses. But by day they shut themselves in. They don’t want anything to do with the light.Midnight is like morning to them. The terrors of darkness are their friends.
