Psalm 14:2

A Portrait Of Sinners

¹ [The] fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable deeds. There is none who does good. ² Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who cares about God. ³ All have gone astray; they are altogether corrupt. There is not one who does good; there is not even one.
