children of men, to see if there are any who
understand, who seek God.
They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good, No, not one.

That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the LORD, exercising loving kindness,
judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the LORD.
