That seek deep, Heb. that make deep. A metaphor from men who use to dig deep into the earth, that they may hide any thing there which they would keep safe and unknown. To hide their counsel from the Lord; vainly imagining that they can keep all their hypocrisy and secret wickedness out of God's sight, and that they can deceive, not only man, but God, by their external professions and services. Their works are in the dark; their wicked counsels are contrived, and their idolatry is practised, in secret and dark places, of which see Ezekiel 8:12. Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? we act so cunningly, that neither God nor man can discover us.
