Psalm 36:2

2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves
too much to detect or hate their sin.(A)

2 For it (A)flatters him in his own eyes
Concerning the discovery of his wrongful deed and the hatred of it.

they cannot see how wicked they really are.
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
King James Version
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
