Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
Because they don't pay attention to what the LORD has done or notice the work of his hands, he will tear them down and not help them grow.
This verse warns that those who ignore God's works and refuse to acknowledge what he has done will face his judgment rather than his blessing.
