Psalms 36:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 36:2
Self-flattery (Hebrew 'chalaq,' to be smooth, slippery) describes the wicked smoothing over conscience's objections, rationalizing sin until conviction is silenced. 'Until his iniquity be found to be hateful' suggests eventual discovery and exposure—either by others or through consequences making sin's ugliness undeniable. This psychological insight reveals how sin requires ongoing self-deception; maintaining wickedness demands suppressing truth that would otherwise produce repentance.
