When its twigs are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them.  For this is a people without understanding; so their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.

This is clear.  These people do not acknowledge the existence of the Lord.  They do not love Him or obey Him.  Their lack of understanding does not change the truth.  God IS their Maker.  God IS their Creator.  Think of today.  People shake their  fists at God, claim He doesn’t exist, hate Him and those who follow Him.  It is a great, loud noise, but it does not change the facts:  God IS their Creator.
