I could ask the darkness to hide me or the light around me to turn into night,

but even darkness is not dark for you, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you.

Those who try to hide their plans from the LORD are doomed! They carry out their schemes in secret and think no one will see them or know what they are doing.

No one can hide where I cannot see them. Do you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on earth?

Even if they dig their way down to the world of the dead, I will catch them. Even if they climb up to heaven, I will bring them down.

If they hide on the top of Mount Carmel, I will search for them and catch them. If they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the sea monster to bite them.

So you should not pass judgment on anyone before the right time comes. Final judgment must wait until the Lord comes; he will bring to light the dark secrets and expose the hidden purposes of people's minds. And then all will receive from God the praise they deserve.

They fear the light of day, but darkness holds no terror for them.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. They lived in a land of shadows, but now light is shining on them.

He sends disaster and ruin to those who do wrong.

You cannot stand the sight of the proud; you hate all wicked people.

The LORD protects honest people, but destroys those who do wrong.

Then I will say to them, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!'

But he will say again, 'I don't know where you come from. Get away from me, all you wicked people!'
