Commentators agree that the wicked person described here doesn't just sin in secret; they openly boast about their sinful desires. They take pride in what should bring shame, viewing their own passions and successes as things to be celebrated. Scholars like Calvin and Henry identify this shameless pride and contempt for God as the root of their wickedness.
