73:22 I was ignorant 1 and lacked insight; 2
I was as senseless as an animal before you. 3
92:6 The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this;
the fool does not understand this. 4
1 tn Or “brutish, stupid.”
2 tn Heb “and I was not knowing.”
3 tn Heb “an animal I was with you.”
4 tn Heb “the brutish man does not know, and the fool does not understand this.” The adjective בַּעַר (ba’ar, “brutish”) refers to spiritual insensitivity, not mere lack of intelligence or reasoning ability (see Pss 49:10; 73:22; Prov 12:1; 30:2, as well as the use of the related verb in Ps 94:8).
