I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your Commandments.

Lo, this only I have found, that God has made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their paths.

The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their paths. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them shall not know peace.

in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and backsliding from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.

For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of Living Waters, to hew out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one;

They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one.

among whom also we all formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others;

and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who consider it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, delighting in their own deceptions while they feast with you,

They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

My wounds have stunk and festered, because of my foolishness.

how much more abhorrent and corrupt is man, who drinks injustice like water!

But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your defilement and from all your idols.

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They are corrupt; they have done abominable works, there is no one who does good.

And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained.

And Pharaoh arose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great outcry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one who died.

Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!

As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one;

I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?
