Commentary on Proverbs 28:5
Evil people 'understand not judgment,' but those seeking the Lord 'understand all things.' The Hebrew 'biyn mishpat' (understand judgment/justice) is impossible for the wicked. Spiritual blindness prevents moral understanding. Meanwhile, those who seek Yahweh gain comprehensive understanding. This doesn't mean omniscience but wisdom to discern right from wrong. Reformed theology affirms that natural man cannot understand spiritual things (1 Corinthians 2:14). Only the Spirit opens eyes to truth. Seeking God is prerequisite to understanding His justice.
