Psalm 36:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Sin speaks to the wicked man in his heart;[a]
in his eyes there is no fear of God.
3 He deludes himself with the idea
that his guilt will not be discovered and hated.[b]
4 The words his mouth utters are malicious and deceitful;
he has ceased to be wise and act uprightly.
