"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
"There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God."
"They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

"To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. "

"And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. "
"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, "

"Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, "
"Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. "

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me. "
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; "

" Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. "
9. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 10. Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
11. Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

14. He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
15. Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
16. He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
17. And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
18. They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19. And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity."

" 9. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. "
"13. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. "

"1. A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. "
"2. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. "

"28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:"
"29. For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:"
"30. They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof."
"31. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices."
