10 As it is written:

(A)“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their(B) throat is an open [a]tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
(C)“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose(D) mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their(E) feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There(F) is no fear of God before their eyes.”

  1. Romans 3:13 grave

10 As it is written and forever remains written,

There is none righteous [none that meets God’s standard], not even one.(A)
11 
There is none who understands,
There is none who seeks for God.(B)
12 
All have turned aside, together they have become useless;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”(C)
13 
Their throat is an open grave;
They [habitually] deceive with their tongues.”
The venom of asps is beneath their lips.”(D)
14 
Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”(E)
15 
Their feet are swift to shed blood,
16 
Destruction and misery are in their paths,
17 
And they have not known the path of peace.”(F)
18 
There is no fear of God [and His awesome power] before their eyes.”(G)

10 As the Scriptures say,

“No one is righteous—
    not even one.
11 No one is truly wise;
    no one is seeking God.
12 All have turned away;
    all have become useless.
No one does good,
    not a single one.”[a]
13 “Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
    Their tongues are filled with lies.”
“Snake venom drips from their lips.”[b]
14     “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[c]
15 “They rush to commit murder.
16     Destruction and misery always follow them.
17 They don’t know where to find peace.”[d]
18     “They have no fear of God at all.”[e]
