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)
