All those who behave wickedly[a] do not understand—[b]
those who devour my people as if they were eating bread,

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 14:4 tn Heb “all the workers of wickedness.” See Pss 5:5; 6:8.
  2. Psalm 14:4 tn Heb “Do they not understand?” The rhetorical question (rendered in the translation as a positive affirmation) expresses the psalmist’s amazement at their apparent lack of understanding. This may refer to their lack of moral understanding, but it more likely refers to their failure to anticipate God’s defense of his people (see vv. 5-7).
