Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 94:10

10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct ! he that teacheth man knowledge , shall not he know !

He who, when he pleaseth, can and doth punish the Gentiles or Nations of the World, is he not able to punish you for your wicked speeches and actions? Or, He that instructeth, or teacheth (as this word signifies, Prov. 9. 7. Isa. 8. 11. &c.) the nations (not onely the Jews, but all other people, all mankind, as this clause is explained by the next, he that teacheth man knowledge) shall not he correct or reprove? and therefore must not he discern and know all your hard speeches and wicked actions? Thus the consequent seems to be put for the antecedent, as is frequent in Scripture, and that not without emphasis, to Imply that God does not know their sins with a simple or speculative knowledge, but so as to proceed▪ upon that knowledge to judge and punish them.

By giving him understanding and the knowledge of many excellent things by the light of nature.

To wit, mens thoughts, of which see v. 11. and their words and actions, of which he spoke, v. 6, 7. These words are not in the Hebrew Text, but are easily understood out of the foregoing clause. And the like defects we find elsewhere, as 2 Sam. 5. 8. comp. with 1 Chron. 11. 6. especially in vehement commotions of the mind, when a mans passion stops his speech, as it is here and Psal. 6. 3. and in other Authors.
