Common English Bible
Psalm 36:2-4
Common English Bible
2 because in their own eyes they are slick with talk
about their guilt ever being found out and despised.[a]
3 The words of their mouths are evil and dishonest.
They have stopped being wise and stopped doing good.
4 They plot evil even while resting in bed!
They commit themselves to a path that is no good.
They don’t reject what is evil.
