“ Tell me, has there ever been a man like Job, with his thirst for irreverent talk?

A corrupt witness makes a mockery of justice; the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.

But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one!

how much less will he trust people made of clay! They are made of dust, crushed as easily as a moth.

Only fools say in their hearts,“ There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!The Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one!

I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”

Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin.As the Scriptures say,“ No one is righteous— not even one.No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God.All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.”“ Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with lies.”“ Snake venom drips from their lips.”“ Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”“ They rush to commit murder.Destruction and misery always follow them.They don’t know where to find peace.”“ They have no fear of God at all.”Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.

“ They enjoyed the sweet taste of wickedness, letting it melt under their tongue.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents.
