Have those who work evil no knowledge (no understanding)?

"Workers of iniquity" in the King James Version bible has been mentioned 63 times.

Workers or "paal" in Hebrew which means:

1. to do or make systematically or habitually

2. to practise - commit, make, ordain, wrought

Iniquity or "aven" in Hebrew which means:

1. to pant - to exert oneself

2. strictly nothingness

3. trouble, vanity, wickedness

4. specifically an idol: - affliction, evil, false, idol, iniquity, mischief, mourners

If we have workers of GOD, we also have workers of iniquity. These workers of iniquity have no knowledge or understanding of GOD. Sad to say, these workers of iniquity are more than the laborers of GOD. Whoever is born in this world is already a worker of iniquity because they don't have knowledge or understanding of GOD.

Matthew 9:37-38 (Amplified Bible)

9:37 Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few.

9:38 So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.

Micah 4:12 (Amplified Bible)

4:12 But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither do they understand His plan, for He shall gather them as the sheaves to the threshing floor.

Psalms 92:6 (Amplified Bible)

92:6 A man in his rude and uncultivated state knows not, neither does a [self-confident] fool understand this:

Psalms 82:5 (Amplified Bible)

82:5 [The magistrates and judges] know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in the darkness [of complacent satisfaction]; all the foundations of the earth [the fundamental principles upon which rests the administration of justice] are shaking.

1 Corinthians 1:31 (Amplified Bible)

1:31 So then, as it is written, Let him who boasts and proudly rejoices and glories, boast and proudly rejoice and glory in the Lord.

All our boastings and glorying is because we know and understand the LORD GOD while workers of iniquity does not have any of these.

Jeremiah 9:24 (Amplified Bible)

9:24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.

A. They eat up GOD's people as they eat bread

"They eat up My people as they eat bread;"

Eat up or "akal" in Hebrew which means:

1. burn up

2. devour

3. consume

4. feed

5. food

Psalms 27:2 (Amplified Bible)

27:2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Psalms 14:1-7 (Amplified Bible)

14:1 To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right.

14:2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who understood, dealt wisely, and sought after God, inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him [of vital necessity].

14:3 They are all gone aside, they have all together become filthy; there is none that does good or right, no, not one.

14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread and who do not call on the Lord?

14:5 There they shall be in great fear [literally—dreading a dread], for God is with the generation of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those upright and in right standing with Him).

14:6 You [evildoers] would put to shame and confound the plans of the poor and patient, but the Lord is his safe refuge.

14:7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord shall restore the fortunes of His people, then Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.

Romans 11:25-27 (Amplified Bible)

11:25 Lest you be self-opinionated (wise in your own conceits), I do not want you to miss this hidden truth and mystery, brethren: a hardening (insensibility) has [temporarily] befallen a part of Israel [to last] until the full number of the ingathering of the Gentiles has come in,

11:26 And so all Israel will be saved. As it is written, The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will banish ungodliness from Jacob.

11:27 And this will be My covenant (My agreement) with them when I shall take away their sins.

B. They do not call upon GOD

"they do not call upon God"

Unbelievers are:

Matthew 23:17-39 (Amplified Bible)

23:17 You blind fools! For which is greater: the gold, or the sanctuary of the temple that has made the gold sacred?

23:18 You say too, Whoever swears by the altar is not duty bound; but whoever swears by the offering on the altar, his oath is binding.

23:19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar which makes the gift sacred?

23:20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

23:21 And he who swears by the sanctuary of the temple swears by it and by Him Who dwells in it.

23:22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by Him Who sits upon it.

23:23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you give a tenth of your mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected and omitted the weightier (more important) matters of the Law—right and justice and mercy and fidelity. These you ought [particularly] to have done, without neglecting the others.

23:24 You blind guides, filtering out a gnat and gulping down a camel!

23:25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but within they are full of extortion (prey, spoil, plunder) and grasping self-indulgence.

23:26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may be clean also.

23:27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you are like tombs that have been whitewashed, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything impure.

23:28 Just so, you also outwardly seem to people to be just and upright but inside you are full of pretense and lawlessness and iniquity.

23:29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,

23:30 Saying, If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have aided them in shedding the blood of the prophets.

23:31 Thus you are testifying against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.

23:32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ sins to the brim [so that nothing may be wanting to a full measure].

23:33 You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How can you escape the penalty to be suffered in hell (Gehenna)?

23:34 Because of this, take notice: I am sending you prophets and wise men (interpreters and teachers) and scribes (men learned in the Mosaic Law and the Prophets); some of them you will kill, even crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue and persecute from town to town,

23:35 So that upon your heads may come all the blood of the righteous (those who correspond to the divine standard of right) shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar [of burnt offering].

23:36 Truly I declare to you, all these [evil, calamitous times] will come upon this generation.

23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a mother fowl gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused!

23:38 Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate (abandoned and left destitute of God’s help).

23:39 For I declare to you, you will not see Me again until you say, Blessed (magnified in worship, adored, and exalted) is He Who comes in the name of the Lord!

Psalms 14:1-7 (Amplified Bible)

14:1 To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right.

14:2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who understood, dealt wisely, and sought after God, inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him [of vital necessity].

14:3 They are all gone aside, they have all together become filthy; there is none that does good or right, no, not one.

14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread and who do not call on the Lord?

14:5 There they shall be in great fear [literally—dreading a dread], for God is with the generation of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those upright and in right standing with Him).

14:6 You [evildoers] would put to shame and confound the plans of the poor and patient, but the Lord is his safe refuge.

14:7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord shall restore the fortunes of His people, then Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Jeremiah 9:24 (Amplified Bible)

9:24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I glory in this that I know and understand You for You are the LORD who practices loving-kindness, judgement and righteousness here on earth, for in these things You delight.
