⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

²² covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:

²⁶ He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

³ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that `they go' to the dead.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:

⁵ And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

¹⁴ but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

¹⁵ Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.

²¹ And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.

¹ The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.

² God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

³ Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

¹⁵ For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.

¹² and ye have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto me:

⁵ Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

¹⁴ What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

¹⁵ Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones; Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight:

¹⁶ How much less one that is abominable and corrupt, A man that drinketh iniquity like water!
