They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
Psalm 73:8
"Verse 8. They are corrupt. They rot above ground; their heart and life are depraved. And speak wickedly concerning oppression. ... the nature of the soul
is revealed in the speech.
They choose oppression as their subject, and they not only defend it, but advocate it, glory in it, and would fain make it the general rule among all nations.
God forgive the wretches who thus talk. They speak loftily. Their high heads, like tall chimneys, vomit black smoke. Big talk streams from them, their language is colossal, their magniloquence ridiculous. They speak as from the judges' bench, and expect all the world to stand in awe of them."
Charles Spurgeon
