Verse Takeaways

The Delusion of Self-Reliance
Commentators explain that this verse reveals the inner thoughts of the wicked: a settled, arrogant belief in their own invincibility. They trust in their own plans and power, convincing themselves they are secure from all adversity for all time. Scholars like Albert Barnes note this is a classic sign of pride and a practical atheism of the heart, a delusion that God will ultimately shatter.
