psalms 36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. - Free Bible Online

psalms 36:2 For it flatters him in his [own] eyes, Concerning the discovery of his iniquity [and] the hatred [of it].


      2-4. This reflection detailed.
      until his iniquity--literally, "for finding his iniquity for hating"; that is, he persuades himself God will not so find it--"for hating" involving the idea of punishing. Hence his words of iniquity and deceit, and his bold rejection of all right principles of conduct. The climax is that he deliberately adopts and patronizes evil. The negative forms affirm more emphatically their contraries.
