Psalm 36:2-4
The Message
36 1-4 The God-rebel tunes in to sedition—
all ears, eager to sin.
He has no regard for God,
he stands insolent before him.
He has smooth-talked himself
into believing
That his evil
will never be noticed.
Words gutter from his mouth,
dishwater dirty.
Can’t remember when he
did anything decent.
Every time he goes to bed,
he fathers another evil plot.
When he’s loose on the streets,
nobody’s safe.
He plays with fire
and doesn’t care who gets burned.
Psalm 36:2-4
New International Version
2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves
too much to detect or hate their sin.(A)
3 The words of their mouths(B) are wicked and deceitful;(C)
they fail to act wisely(D) or do good.(E)
4 Even on their beds they plot evil;(F)
they commit themselves to a sinful course(G)
and do not reject what is wrong.(H)
