The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who understood, dealt wisely, and sought after God, inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him [of vital necessity]. They are all gone aside, they have all together become filthy; there is none that does good or right, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread and who do not call on the Lord?

Drag me not away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but malice and mischief are in their hearts. Repay them according to their work and according to the wickedness of their doings; repay them according to the work of their hands; render to them what they deserve. Because they regard not the works of the Lord nor the operations of His hands, He will break them down and not rebuild them.
