Psalms 94:8
6 They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
10 He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
