“For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.”
The exposure 'You felt secure in your wickedness' identifies the spiritual danger underlying Babylon's fall: confidence in evil as reliable power. The phrase 'no one sees me' articulates the oppressor's assumption of invisibility and unaccountability, a fundamental theological error. This verse names the specific sin that provokes judgment: not merely cruelty but the arrogant conviction that wickedness is secretly sustainable. The prophecy shatters that illusion, proving that all wickedness is ultimately visible and accountable.
