“For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.”
The portrayal of the wicked boasting about the desires of his soul and blesses those who are greedy and curses the Lord suggests that the wicked actively encourage wickedness and mock God. The boasting about desire suggests that the wicked celebrates his own appetites and refuses to constrain them according to moral law. The blessing of the greedy and cursing of the Lord establishes that the wicked not merely pursues evil but proactively opposes God and encourages others in ungodliness. This verse emphasizes the wicked's ideological opposition to God, not merely behavioral transgression.
