A Description of the Fool

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt. They commit horrible evil.
There is no one who does good.
God looks down from heaven on all the children of Adam
    to see if there is anyone who understands,
    anyone who seeks God.
Every single one has turned back.
Altogether they have become rotten.
There is no one who does good.
There is not even one.
