Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 23:19

καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἀνθρώπων ὁ φόβος αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω ὅτι ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου μυριοπλασίως ἡλίου φωτεινότεροι, ἐπιβλέποντες πάσας ὁδοὺς ἀνθρώπων καὶ κατανοοῦντες εἰς ἀπόκρυφα μέρη.
King James Version (KJV)

Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the most secret parts.

Modern English

Such a man fears only the eyes of other people, not knowing that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, watching every path a person takes and seeing into the most hidden places.
