Genesis 6:5
5 aThe Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every bintention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.Genesis 8:21
21And when the Lord smelled cthe pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again dcurse ▼▼Or dishonor
the ground because of man, for fthe intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. gNeither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. Job 15:14-16
14 hWhat is man, ithat he can be pure?Or he who is jborn of a woman, that he can be righteous?
15Behold, God ▼
▼Hebrew he
lputs no trust in his mholy ones,and the heavens are not pure in his sight;
16 nhow much less one who is abominable and ocorrupt,
a man who pdrinks injustice like water!

There Is None Who Does Good
To the choirmaster: according to rMahalath. A Maskil ▼▼Probably musical or liturgical terms of David.
1 tThe fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand, ▼
▼Or who act wisely
who seek after God.
3 They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
Proverbs 28:26
26Whoever vtrusts in his own mind is a fool,but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.
Ecclesiastes 9:3
3This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that wthe same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and xmadness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.Jeremiah 16:12
12and because yyou have done worse than your fathers, for behold, zevery one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me.
