5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.

They walk about in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding,

they walk about in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

5 They know not, neither will they understand;

They walk on in darkness:

All the foundations of the earth are out of course.

5 But these oppressors know nothing;

they are so ignorant!

They wander about in darkness,

while the whole world is shaken to the core.

5 “You know nothing. You don’t understand.

You walk in the dark,

while the world is falling apart.

5 They know not, neither do they understand;

They walk to and fro in darkness:

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

5 Wicked people do not know or understand anything. 

As they walk around in the dark, 

all the foundations of the earth shake. 

5 They do not know or understand;

they wander in darkness.

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding,

they walk around in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

5 They do not know or consider.

They go about in the darkness,

so that all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

5 “You rulers and judges don’t know anything.

You don’t understand anything.

You are in the dark about what is right.

Law and order have been destroyed all over the world.

5 They do not know nor do they understand;

They walk about in darkness;

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
