The teaching which began with the fear of the Lord Pro 1:7 would not be complete without this assertion of His omni-present knowledge. |

The eyes of the Lord are in every place - He not only sees all things, by his omnipresence, but his providence is everywhere. And if the consideration that his eye is in every place, have a tendency to appal those whose hearts are not right before him, and who seek for privacy, that they may commit iniquity; yet the other consideration, that his providence is everywhere, has a great tendency to encourage the upright, and all who may be in perilous or distressing circumstances. |
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
