Psalm 53:2-4
King James Version
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

Psalm 53:2-4
New King James Version
2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who (A)seek God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity (B)no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?
Psalm 53:2-4
English Standard Version
2 God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,[a]
who seek after God.
3 They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4 Have those who work evil no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not call upon God?
