and their captors deport them to the enemy’s country(B)—
whether distant or nearby—
Job 15:15-16

The Whole World Guilty before God
9 What then? Are we any better?[a] Not at all! For we have previously charged that both Jews(A) and Gentiles[b](B) are all under sin,[c](C) 10 as it is written:[d]
There is no one righteous, not even one.

all alike have become useless.
There is no one who does what is good,
not even one.(D)[e]
