who can understand it?
James 1:13-15

English Standard Version
10 as it is written:
(A)“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 (B)“Their throat is (C)an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
(D)“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 (E)“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 (F)“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and (G)the way of peace they have not known.”
18 (H)“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever (I)the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, (J)so that every mouth may be stopped, and (K)the whole world may be held accountable to God.
