1 The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist." They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good.

2 God looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise and who seeks God.

3 Everyone has turned aside; they have all become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.

4 Will evildoers never understand? They consume My people as they consume bread; they do not call on God.
