Romans 3:11

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. filthy: Heb. stinking Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
