Romans 3:12
10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
11 There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
