“The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.”
Psalms 36:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 36:3
Speech reveals heart condition—'iniquity and deceit' characterize the wicked's words because his inner life is corrupt (Matthew 12:34). The phrase 'left off to be wise' indicates apostasy, a deliberate turning from known truth. This isn't ignorance but willful rejection of wisdom previously possessed. Ceasing to 'do good' follows ceasing to 'be wise,' demonstrating that right thinking precedes right acting; abandoning truth inevitably produces abandoning goodness.
