Mazmur 73:22

73:22 I was ignorant ¹  and lacked insight; ² 

I was as senseless as an animal before you. ³ 

Mazmur 94:8

94:8 Take notice of this, ⁴  you ignorant people! ⁵ 

You fools, when will you ever understand?

[73:22]  ¹ tn Or “brutish, stupid.”

[73:22]  ² tn Heb “and I was not knowing.”

[73:22]  ³ tn Heb “an animal I was with you.”

[94:8]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Heb “[you] brutish among the people.”
