It suggests that individuals will receive appropriate retribution for both their good and evil works, reflecting a principle of moral accountability in God's governance.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Because they regard not the works of the Lord -What the Lord does in creation; in his providence; through His commands and laws; and by His Spirit. They do not find pleasure in His works; they do not give heed to the intimations of His will in His providential dealings; they do not listen to His commands; they do not yield to the influences of His Spirit. “Nor the operation of his hands.” What He is now doing. The sense is essentially the same as in the former member of the sentence. He shall destroy them -He will pull them down, instead of building them up. They expose themselves to His displeasure, and He will bring deserved punishment upon them.
