Proverbs 28:5 - Exposition

Evil men understand not judgment; or, what is right . An evil man's moral conception is perverted, he cannot distinguish between right and wrong; the light that was in him has become darkness (comp. Proverbs 29:7 ). Many men, by giving themselves over to wickedness, awe judicially blinded, according to John 12:1-50 :89, 40. They who seek the Lord understand all things. These who do God's will, seeking him in prayer, know what is morally right is every circumstance, have a right judgment in all things (comp. Ecclesiastes 8:5 ; 1 Corinthians 2:15 ). So 1 John 2:20 , "Ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things;" and our Lord has (declared, "If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the doctrine" ( John 7:17 ).
