Judgment for Willful Blindness
The verse states the reason for God's severe judgment is that the people are "of no understanding." Commentators like Calvin and Gill clarify this is not innocent ignorance but a culpable blindness. It represents a willful rejection of God's truth and a lack of the fear of the Lord, which is the source of all wisdom. This willful spiritual ignorance leads directly to divine judgment.
