Psalms 94:8-11 NIV (New International Version)
Take notice, you senseless ones 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? Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge? The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
Psalms 94:8-11 ESV (English Standard Version 2025)
Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge— the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
Psalms 94:8-11 NLT (New Living Translation)
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? He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you? He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing? The LORD knows people’s thoughts; he knows they are worthless!
Psalms 94:8-11 CSB (Christian Standard Bible)
Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise? Can the one who shaped the ear not hear, the one who formed the eye not see? The one who instructs nations, the one who teaches mankind knowledge — does he not discipline? The LORD knows the thoughts of mankind; they are futile.
Psalms 94:8-11 KJV (King James Version)
Understand, ye brutish among the people: And ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.
Psalms 94:8-11 NKJV (New King James Version)
Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge? The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.
Psalms 94:8-11 MSG (The Message)
Well, think again, you idiots, fools—how long before you get smart? Do you think Ear-Maker doesn’t hear, Eye-Shaper doesn’t see? Do you think the trainer of nations doesn’t correct, the teacher of Adam doesn’t know? GOD knows, all right— knows your stupidity, sees your shallowness.
Psalms 94:8-11 NASB2020 (New American Standard Bible - NASB)
¶Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones? He who planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, He who teaches mankind knowledge? The LORD knows human thoughts, That they are mere breath.
Psalms 94:8-11 AMP (Amplified Bible)
¶Consider thoughtfully, you senseless (stupid ones) among the people; And you [dull-minded] fools, when will you become wise and understand? He who made the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who instructs the nations, Does He not rebuke and punish, He who teaches man knowledge? The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath (vain, empty, futile). [1 Cor 3:20]
Psalms 94:8-11 NET (New English Translation)
Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand? Does the one who makes the human ear not hear? Does the one who forms the human eye not see? Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings! The LORD knows that peoples’ thoughts are morally bankrupt.
