NOTES for Pro 15:3

The assertion of the biblical writer about God, Who beholds and the evil, and the good can be interpreted differently. There are perhaps those who adopt this idea either in peace of mind (if they clearly or at the bottom of the heart realize that in God's eyes, they will turn out rather evil, than good), or in the sadness (if they consider themselves among the goods and hope in a fast heavenly justice). And however, the author of the aphorism, it seems, says nothing of God's attitude towards what He sees. The author notices only the fact that nothing is hidden from God. Of course, this observation was itself after all necessary, exactly because for some what is said is not at all obvious. Sometimes it can seem that God does not care about people with their good and evil actions.

And if the biblical writer was right? Then it is more natural to assume that the justice is just postponed. And why it is postponed, we can only suppose. From the point of view of the revelations of the New Testament many is explained by the parable of the Rescuer of the wheat and the weed, sowed in a field: until the moment of harvest they grow together, otherwise there is chance to gather the tares with wheat.

Indeed, to change a person in a cardinal way without a total transformation of the human nature is hardly possible, as well as it is impossible to change radically the human society, and all the attempts of a radical destruction of sin in such a case will inevitably turn into something remembering the universal deluge. And God waits the day of the harvest. And we wait the day of Judgment and of the definitive transformation.
