how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, one who drinks iniquity like water!
“I will show you; listen to me; what I have seen I will declare—
“Though wickedness is sweet in their mouth, though they hide it under their tongues,
Who is there like Job, who drinks up scoffing like water,
how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth.
therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
They have all fallen away; they are all alike perverse; there is no one who does good, no, not one.
A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another.
