They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
The reek of the sepulchre rises through their mouths; corruption spills out in their speech. They glory in oppression, defend it, advocate it, would make it law over all nations. There is still too much of this wicked talk abroad today, men who speak of the working poor as if they were an inferior order of animals. God forgive the wretches who thus talk.
AI summary
Sin issues forth from their fat, bloated hearts and overflows in their gestures and words like a river. Their unbounded self-confidence erupts outwardly as arrogance beyond measure, mocking and openly declaring their intent to oppress. They dictate from an eminence they imagine themselves to occupy, making their fellow-man the sport of their caprice.
AI summary
Commenting on Psalm 73:7-10
Corrupt in themselves and corrupting others, they consume and waste by their oppression and violence, melting hearts with terrifying words. They speak loftily, from on high, as if they were in heaven above all creatures and God Himself, their utterances received as oracles beyond question. So spoke Pharaoh, Sennacherib, Nebuchadnezzar, and the little horn of antichrist.
