(2) God looks down from heaven at people to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.

Good News Bible copyright © 1995 by American Bible Society.

This verse provides an overall solution to Israel's unbelieving, stubborn, and debilitating proclivity toward fickleness that draws one right into the maelstrom of Babylon to seek its brand of fulfillment. Do we truly believe God is working with us and judging our responses? Do we respond by truly seeking Him?

— John W. Ritenbaugh
