Psalm 94:10-13

Living Bible

¹⁰ He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you? He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing?

¹¹ The Lord is fully aware of how limited and futile the thoughts of mankind are, ^12-13 so he helps us by punishing us. This makes us follow his paths and gives us respite from our enemies while God traps them and destroys them.
