The verse asks if evildoers have "no knowledge." Commentators explain this is not a lack of information but a willful ignorance of God. Matthew Henry notes that "Men's bad practices flow from their bad principles." Their cruel actions, like persecuting God's people, stem directly from a corrupt heart that refuses to acknowledge or call upon God.
