The Fool

A Description of the Fool

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

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