¹⁰ As it is written, None is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one.^(A)

¹¹ No one understands [no one intelligently discerns or comprehends]; no one seeks out God.^(B)

¹² All have turned aside; together they have gone wrong and have become unprofitable and worthless; no one does right, not even one!

¹³ Their throat is a yawning grave; they use their tongues to deceive (to mislead and to deal treacherously). The venom of asps is beneath their lips.^(C)

¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.^(D)

¹⁵ Their feet are swift to shed blood.

¹⁶ Destruction [as it dashes them to pieces] and misery mark their ways.

¹⁷ And they have no experience of the way of peace [they know nothing about peace, for a peaceful way they do not even recognize].^(E)

¹⁸ There is no [reverential] fear of God before their eyes.^(F)

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that [the murmurs and excuses of] every mouth may be hushed and all the world may be held accountable to God.
