12 All have turned away.
    Together, everyone has become ·useless [worthless].
There is no one who ·does anything good [or shows kindness];
    there is not even one [Ps. 14:1–3].”
13 “Their throats are like open graves [C either their words are like rotting corpses, or their speech is murderous];
    they use their tongues ·for telling lies [to deceive; Ps. 5:9].”

14     “Their mouths are full of cursing and ·hate [bitterness; Ps. 10:7].”
