¹The fool has said in his heart,

“There is no God.”

They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;

there is none who does good.

²God looks down from heaven

on the sons of men

to see if there are any who understand,

who seek after God.

³Every one of them has turned aside;

together they have become corrupt;

there is no one who does good,

no, not one.

⁴Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,[#Jer 4:22]

who eat up my people as they eat bread,

and do not call on God?

⁵There they are, in great fear,

where there is nothing to fear,

for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;

you have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

⁶Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!

When God brings back the captivity of His people,

Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will be glad.
