    all have become corrupt.^[a]

    not one of them does good!

¹⁵ “Will you continue on the old paths
    where evil people have walked?

    the foundations of their lives washed away.

    What can the Almighty do to us?’

    all who live on the earth.

‘I sinned and twisted the truth,
    but it was not worth it.^[a]
