Evil people do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it all.

Many will be purified, made clean, and refined, but the wicked will go on being wicked. None of the wicked will understand, though the wise will understand.

I wish that they were wise and could understand this, and that they could comprehend what will happen to them.”

It is not the aged who are wise, nor old men who understand what is right.

For they do not understand the Lord’s actions, or the way he carries out justice. The Lord will permanently demolish them.

Before the kindling is even placed under your pots, he will sweep it away along with both the raw and cooked meat.

They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble.

They do not comprehend or understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see; their minds do not discern.

These who are wise among the people will teach the masses. However, they will fall by the sword and by the flame, and they will be imprisoned and plundered for some time.
