Context of Psalms 94:8
6They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless. 7And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider. Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? 10He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, Evenhe that teacheth man knowledge?
