“They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.”
The statement that the wicked set their mouths against heaven articulates the ultimate blasphemy: that their success leads them to direct their speech against God. The reference to tongues striding through the earth indicates that their deceptive and malicious speech extends throughout society. This verse indicates that the wicked's prosperity leads to the ultimate presumption: opposition to God itself.
