Romans 3:17
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery lie in their wake,
and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
