Psalm 36:3

3 As palavras da sua boca são maldosas e traiçoeiras;abandonou o bom senso e não quer fazer o bem.

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 Há no meu íntimo um oráculoa respeito da maldade do ímpio:Aos seus olhos é inútil temer a Deus.

2 Ele se acha tão importante,que não percebe nem rejeita o seu pecado.

3 As palavras da sua boca são maldosas e traiçoeiras;abandonou o bom senso e não quer fazer o bem.

4 Até na sua cama planeja maldade;nada há de bom no caminho a que se entregou,e ele nunca rejeita o mal.

5 O teu amor, SENHOR, chega até os céus;a tua fidelidade até as nuvens.
