The Danger of False Peace
All the commentators highlight the danger of self-deception. The verse describes a person who hears God's clear warnings against sin but inwardly convinces themselves they are safe. As John Calvin notes, it is foolish to hope for peace while waging war with God. This person 'blesses himself in his heart,' creating a false security that allows them to continue in disobedience while expecting a positive outcome.
