He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
Knowledge is taught by God, for He who chastises and corrects the nations is Himself the one who teaches man knowledge. The God who corrects nations also corrects individual persons, including the heathen. Since He gives knowledge to man, He Himself knows and is not ignorant of what people do.
Those who forget God are subject to His reproof and judgment. Ignorance or lack of knowledge does not excuse them, so His correction must be heeded. God teaches people what they do not know, so coming to Scripture with an honest and receptive heart allows Him to convince, enlighten, and improve them.
