8 You stupid ones among the people, pay attention.You fools, when will you understand?
9 Can’t the creator of ears hear?Can’t the maker of eyes see?
10 Won’t the one who corrects nations punish you?Doesn’t the teacher of people know everything?
11 The Lord knows what people think.He knows their thoughts are just a puff of wind.
12 Lord, those you correct are happy;you teach them from your law.
13 You give them rest from times of troubleuntil a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 The Lord won’t leave his peoplenor give up his children.
