Psalm 36:3

3 Las palabras de su boca son iniquidad y engaño; ha dejado de ser sabio y de hacer el bien.

Psalm 36:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 36:3

The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit
Not only sinful, but sin itself; his mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, of filthy and unchaste words, of corrupt communication, lying, deceit, and flattery; out of the abundance of the wickedness of his heart his mouth speaketh; and which shows the badness of it, and proves all that is said before of him;

he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good;
by which the psalmist seems to intend one that had been a professor of religion, who, besides the light of nature he had acted contrary to, had had the advantage of a divine revelation, and had been enlightened into the knowledge of divine things, and had done many things externally good, particularly acts of beneficence; but now had dropped his profession of religion, denied the truths he had been enlightened into, and ceased from doing good; otherwise a natural man understandeth not; and, though he is wise to do evil, to do good he has no knowledge.

Psalm 36:3 In-Context

1 La transgresión habla al impío dentro de su corazón; no hay temor de Dios delante de sus ojos.

2 Porque en sus propios ojos la transgresión le engaña en cuanto a descubrir su iniquidad y aborrecerla.

3 Las palabras de su boca son iniquidad y engaño; ha dejado de ser sabio y de hacer el bien.

4 Planea la iniquidad en su cama; se obstina en un camino que no es bueno; no aborrece el mal.

5 Tu misericordia, oh SEÑOR, se extiende hasta los cielos, tu fidelidad, hasta el firmamento.
