Psalms 14:2
1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.
The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
3 All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4 Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.
