Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The Lord

smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.

“Who can make the clean out of the unclean?
No one!

“What is man, that he should be pure,
Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

“How then can a man be just with God?
Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.

For the choir director; according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”

They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;

There is no one who does good.

No, in heart you work unrighteousness;
On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.

Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.

Wash your heart from evil, O Jerusalem,
That you may be saved.
How long will your wicked thoughts
Lodge within you?

“The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.

And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you.

For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are:

immorality, impurity, sensuality,

For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

And is desperately sick;
