Psalms 36:1
An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
3 The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
