Catholic Public Domain Version

They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
