Genesis 8:21

21 And 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.

Proverbs 6:14

Proverbs 24:9

9 ^kThe devising ^{▼▼Or scheming} of folly is sin,
and ^mthe scoffer is an abomination to mankind.

Jeremiah 17:9

9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;

Romans 3:10-19

10 as it is written:

ⁿ“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 ^o“Their throat is ^pan open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
^q“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 ^r“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 ^s“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and ^tthe way of peace they have not known.”
18 ^u“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever ^vthe law says it speaks to those who are under the law, ^wso that every mouth may be stopped, and ^xthe whole world may be held accountable to God.
