Mazmur 94:8

94:8 Take notice of this, ¹  you ignorant people! ² 

You fools, when will you ever understand?

Yeremia 5:21

5:21 Tell them: ‘Hear this,

you foolish people who have no understanding,

who have eyes but do not discern,

who have ears but do not perceive: ³ 

[94:8]  ¹ tn Heb “understand.” The verb used in v. 7 is repeated here for rhetorical effect. The people referred to here claim God is ignorant of their actions, but the psalmist corrects their faulty viewpoint.

[94:8]  ² tn Heb “[you] brutish among the people.”

[5:21]  ³ tn Heb “they have eyes but they do not see, they have ears but they do not hear.”
