8. Understand, ye brutish among the people. They
said that God did not note, and now, using the same word in the
original, the psalmist calls on the wicked to note, and have regard to
the truth. They thought themselves to be wise, and indeed the only people of
wit in the world, but he calls them “boars
among the people.” When a man has done with
God, he has done with his manhood, and has fallen to the level of the ox and
the ass, indeed beneath them, for “the ox
knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib.” Instead of being humbled in the presence of scientific infidels, we
ought to pity them. And ye fools, when will ye be wise? Have you no
relics of reason left? No shreds of sense?
