Psalms 36:2

for it flatters him in his own eyes,
so that he does not see his own sin and hate it. [He deceives himself, smooths things over, glosses over things, is slippery, does not believe that God will hold him accountable.]
[The Hebrew text describes evil personified as speaking against God. The first thing mentioned is the fear of God. The Bible is clear that a healthy fear of God is the first step to wisdom, see Prov 1:7. In Paul's review of sin in his letter to the Romans, it is precisely the lack of fear of God that is the climax of his portrait of sin, see Rom. 3:18. Both the first and second verses are difficult to translate. Some manuscripts have "his heart," others "my heart." David is probably describing the wicked in the third person, but he could also be including himself and his own heart. The human heart is unreliable, see Jer. 17:9; Prov 28:26.]
