"They think: The Lord will do nothing, either good or bad!" Zephaniah 1:12

He says to himself: "God has forgotten; He covers his face and never sees!" Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself: "He won't call me to account?" Psalm 10:11, 13

"They say: The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed!" Psalm 94:7   

"They say: How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?" Psalm 73:11

"Yet you say: What does God know? Does He judge through such darkness?" Job 22:13

The prevailing idea among unbelievers, is that however wickedly they may live, they have nothing to fear. They imagine that God is too merciful to inflict punishment on them—and especially the punishment of everlasting torments, which no sins of theirs can be reasonably supposed to merit.

"Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the Lord, who do their work in darkness and think: Who sees us? Who will know?" Isaiah 29:15

"In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them to the uttermost!" 1 Thessalonians 2:16

"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day! If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready!" Psalm 7:11-12

"If I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand takes hold on justice—I will render vengeance on My adversaries, and I will repay those who hate Me!" Deuteronomy 32:41

"Vengeance is Mine, and retribution! In due time their foot will slip. For the day of their calamity is near, and their doom comes swiftly!" Deuteronomy 32:35
