Psalms 36:2

PrideSin

1 An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

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.

4 Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
