The ^afool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: ^bthere is none that doeth good. ² God ^clooked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did ^dseek God. ^{3 e}Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. ⁴ Have the workers of iniquity ^fno knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. ⁵ There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. ⁶ Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
