Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 14 of Psalms. Psalm 14 describes human corruption from God’s perspective. The fool is not simply someone lacking intellectual ability, but one who lives as though God had no authority over existence. Divine examination reveals a humanity that has gone astray, while the reference to the poor and God’s people introduces a social dimension: denying God also manifests itself through exploitation of one’s neighbor. The final hope looks toward salvation coming from Zion.

Will denn der Übeltäter keiner das merken, die mein Volk fressen, daß sie sich nähren; aber den HERRN rufen sie nicht an?
¿No tendrán conocimiento todos los que obran iniquidad, Que devoran a mi pueblo como si pan comiesen, Y a Jehová no invocaron?
¿No entienden todos los que hacen el mal, los que devoran a mi pueblo como quien come pan y no invocan a Jehová?
Tous ceux qui commettent l'iniquité ont-ils perdu le sens? Ils dévorent mon peuple, ils le prennent pour nourriture; Ils n'invoquent point l'Eternel.
Tutti questi operatori d’iniquità son essi senza intelletto? Essi mangiano il mio popolo, come se mangiassero del pane, E non invocano il Signore.
Não terão conhecimento os que praticam a iniqüidade, os quais comem o meu povo, como se comessem pão, e não invocam ao SENHOR?
作惡的都沒有知識嗎? 他們吞吃我的百姓如同吃飯一樣, 並不求告耶和華。
