He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
The One who disciplines the nations, won't He also correct you? The One who teaches people knowledge, doesn't He know everything?
The writer is reminding us that God, who corrects entire nations and teaches all knowledge, certainly knows everything and will hold people accountable for their actions.
📚 Historical Context
Psalms 94 is a psalm of lament, likely written during a time of oppression for the Israelites, such as under foreign rule or during the Babylonian exile, where the people cried out for God's justice against their enemies. The psalmist uses rhetorical questions to affirm God's role as the ultimate judge and teacher, emphasizing His authority over nations and individuals. In verse 10, this highlights the inconsistency of doubting God's knowledge and corrective power.
