Psalms 12:1

The Faithful Have Vanished

To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.
Probably a musical or liturgical term
A Psalm of David.

1 Save, O Lord, for bthe godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.

Psalms 14:1-3

The Fool Says, There Is No God

To the choirmaster. Of David.

1 cThe dfool says in his heart, e“There is no God.”
They are fcorrupt, they do abominable deeds;
gthere is none who does good.
2 The Lord hlooks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,
Or that act wisely

who jseek after God.
3 They have all turned aside; together they have become kcorrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.

Isaiah 57:1

Israel’s Futile Idolatry

1 The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;
ldevout men are taken away,
while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from calamity;

Romans 3:10-18

10as it is written:

m“None is righteous, no, not one;
11no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 nTheir throat is oan open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
p“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 qTheir mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 rTheir feet are swift to shed blood;
16in their paths are ruin and misery,
17and sthe way of peace they have not known.”
18 t“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
