Think again, you fools!
    When will you finally catch on?
Is he deaf—the one who made your ears?
    Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?
10 He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you?
    He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing?
11 The Lord knows people’s thoughts;
    he knows they are worthless!

12 Joyful are those you discipline, Lord,
    those you teach with your instructions.
13 You give them relief from troubled times
    until a pit is dug to capture the wicked.
14 The Lord will not reject his people;
    he will not abandon his special possession.
15 Judgment will again be founded on justice,
    and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.

Take notice, you senseless ones(A) among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?
Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?(B)
10 Does he who disciplines(C) nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches(D) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(E)
    he knows that they are futile.(F)

12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(G) Lord,
    the one you teach(H) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(I)
    till a pit(J) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(K)
    he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(L)
    and all the upright in heart(M) will follow it.

My people, how can you be such stupid fools?
    When will you ever learn?
God made our ears—can't he hear?
    He made our eyes—can't he see?
10 He scolds the nations—won't he punish them?[a]
    He is the teacher of us all—hasn't he any knowledge?
11 (A)The Lord knows what we think;
    he knows how senseless our reasoning is.

12 Lord, how happy are those you instruct,
    the ones to whom you teach your law!
13 You give them rest from days of trouble
    until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
14 The Lord will not abandon his people;
    he will not desert those who belong to him.
15 Justice will again be found in the courts,
    and all righteous people will support it.
