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

²⁸ A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

⁷ What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water,

³ For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

¹⁰ as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;

¹¹ There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;

¹² They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:

¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:

¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

¹⁵ Their feet are swift to shed blood;

¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways;

¹⁷ And the way of peace have they not known:

¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes.

¹⁹ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:

²⁸ And even as they refused to have God in `their' knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

³⁰ backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

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

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

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

³ They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁶ Wherefore I abhor `myself', And repent in dust and ashes.

¹² Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue,

¹⁹ How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!
