4 They ^autter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves. ‡

5 They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.

7 ^aYet they say, “The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob¹ understand.” ‡

8 Understand, you senseless among the people;
And you fools, when will you be wise?
