The Root of Ruin
Commentators like Calvin and Henry identify the core sin of the wicked not as a specific action, but as a foundational attitude: they willfully ignore God's activity in the world. They disregard His works in creation, His hand in providence, and His standards of justice. This deliberate blindness, scholars explain, is the very root of their impiety and the direct cause of their ultimate destruction.
