Verse Takeaways

No Sin is Secret from God
Commentators unanimously stress that this verse is a powerful reminder of God's omniscience. While a person might hide their actions from other people, especially the sexual sins warned against in this chapter, nothing is hidden from the Lord. All of a person's ways, both public and private, are completely open before His eyes.
