Schaff's Bible Dictionary
JUDGMENT, JUDGMENTS. These are words of frequent occurrence in the sacred Scriptures, and the sense of them is generally determined by the connection. When God's judgments are spoken of, the term may denote either the secret decisions of the divine will, Ps 10:5; Isa 36:6, or the declarations of God's will revealed in the Scriptures, Ex 21:1; Deut 7:12; Neh 9:13, or the inflictions of punishment on the wicked. Prov 19:29: Eze 25:11.
