Psalms 94:9
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
8 Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
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?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
