Psalms 36:1–4
Sin speaks like a prophetic word in the heart of the wicked, blinding them with self-flattery until they lose all wisdom and actively plot evil in their private thoughts.
1 A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.”
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.
Sin speaks like a prophetic word in the heart of the wicked, blinding them with self-flattery until they lose all wisdom and actively plot evil in their private thoughts.
To expose the internal psychological and spiritual dynamics of human depravity, where sin acts as a false authority that blinds the individual to their own moral corruption.
The Wicked Heart and the Fountain of Life in the LORD's Steadfast Love
The wicked path begins where the fear of God is absent, but those who know the LORD find refuge, satisfaction, life, light, and final security in His steadfast love.
