7:2 They do not realize 1
that I remember all of their wicked deeds.
Their evil deeds have now surrounded them;
their sinful deeds are always before me. 2
7:9 Foreigners are consuming what his strenuous labor produced, 3
but he does not recognize it!
His head is filled with gray hair,
but he does not realize it!
