Psalms 94:8-11

Psalms 94

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

8Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?

9He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?

10He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?

11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
