Psalm 14:3

A Portrait Of Sinners

²
The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of men
To see if there are any who understand (act wisely),
Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance].
³ 
They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one. ⁴
Have all the workers of wickedness and injustice no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?
