“They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.”
The portrait of the wicked closing their hearts and speaking with arrogant pride establishes spiritual hardness and prideful defiance as characteristic of the enemies. The closed hearts suggest that the enemies cannot be moved by reason or appeal to conscience. The arrogant speech suggests that the enemies boast confidently in their power to harm the speaker. This verse emphasizes that the enemies are not merely unfortunate or mistaken but spiritually corrupt.
