⁶ He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

⁹ Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.

¹⁴ Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
