The term "judgeth" is an archaic form of the verb "judge," often found in older translations of the Bible. It refers to the act of making a decision or forming an opinion, particularly in the context of moral or legal matters. In the biblical context, "judgeth" is frequently used to describe the actions of God, human judges, or individuals discerning right from wrong.

Divine Judgment

In Scripture, God is often depicted as the ultimate judge who "judgeth" the hearts and actions of humanity. His judgments are portrayed as righteous, fair, and based on His perfect knowledge and holiness. For instance, in Psalm 7:11 , it is written, "God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day." This verse emphasizes God's continuous and just evaluation of human behavior.

The New Testament also highlights God's role as judge. In 1 Peter 1:17 , it states, "Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners." Here, the impartiality of God's judgment is underscored, encouraging believers to live in a manner that honors Him.

Human Judgment

The Bible also addresses the role of human judges, particularly in the context of Israel's history. The Book of Judges recounts the accounts of leaders raised by God to deliver Israel from oppression and to administer justice. These judges, such as Deborah, Gideon, and Samson, were instruments of God's judgment and deliverance.

In the New Testament, Jesus speaks about judgment in the context of personal conduct and relationships. In Matthew 7:1-2 , He warns, "Do not judge, or you will be judged. For with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you." This teaching highlights the importance of humility and self-awareness in human judgment, reminding believers of their own fallibility.

Judgment and Discernment

The concept of "judgeth" also extends to the discernment of spiritual truths and moral decisions. In 1 Corinthians 2:15 , Paul writes, "The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment." This passage suggests that those who are spiritually mature have the ability to discern and evaluate matters according to God's wisdom.

Final Judgment

The Bible speaks of a final judgment, where God will judge all humanity. This eschatological event is described in Revelation 20:12 : "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and there were open books. And one of them was the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books." This ultimate judgment underscores the accountability of every individual before God.

In summary, the term "judgeth" in the Bible encompasses the divine and human aspects of judgment, emphasizing God's righteousness, the role of human judges, the need for personal discernment, and the reality of a final judgment.
