2 God looks down from heaven on Adam's descendants to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, if there is anyone who seeks help from God.
3 Everyone has fallen away. Together they have become rotten to the core. No one, not even one person, does good things.
4 Are all those troublemakers, those who devour my people as if they were devouring food, so ignorant that they do not call on God?
5 There they are--panic-stricken-- [but] there was no reason to panic, because God has scattered the bones of those who set up camp against you. You put them to shame. After all, God has rejected them.
