For forty years, I was offended by that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heart.
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
He Who disciplines and instructs the nations, shall He not punish, He Who teaches man knowledge?
He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, Even he that teacheth man knowledge?
The one who disciplines nations, can’t he punish? The one who teaches humans, doesn’t he know?
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.
