4:19 how much more to those who live in houses of clay, 1
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed 2 like 3 a moth?
42:6 Therefore I despise myself, 4
and I repent in dust and ashes!
For the music director; by David.
14:1 Fools say to themselves, 6 “There is no God.” 7
They sin and commit evil deeds; 8
none of them does what is right. 9
14:2 The Lord looks down from heaven 10 at the human race, 11
to see if there is anyone who is wise 12 and seeks God. 13
14:3 Everyone rejects God; 14
they are all morally corrupt. 15
None of them does what is right, 16
not even one!
53:3 Everyone rejects God; 17
they are all morally corrupt. 18
None of them does what is right, 19
not even one!
1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, 20 God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. 21 1:29 They are filled 22 with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with 23 envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips, 1:30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents,
3:9 What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin, 3:10 just as it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one,
3:11 there is no one who understands,
there is no one who seeks God.
3:12 All have turned away,
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.” 24
3:13 “Their throats are open graves, 25
they deceive with their tongues,
the poison of asps is under their lips.” 26
3:14 “Their mouths are 27 full of cursing and bitterness.” 28
3:15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood,
3:16 ruin and misery are in their paths,
3:17 and the way of peace they have not known.” 29
3:18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 30
3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under 31 the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
