10 as it is written:

(A)There is no righteous person, not even one;
11 There is no one who understands,
There is no one who seeks out God;
12 They have all turned aside, together they have become [a]corrupt;
There is no one who does good,
There is not even one.”
13 (B)Their throat is an open grave,
With their tongues they keep deceiving,”
(C)The venom of [b]asps is under their lips”;
14 (D)Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;
15 (E)Their feet are swift to shed blood,
16 Destruction and misery are in their paths,
17 And they have not known the way of peace.”
18 (F)There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
