God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who (A)seek God.
Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity (B)no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?

God looks down from heaven
    on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,[a]

Have those who work evil no knowledge,
    who eat up my people as they eat bread,
    and do not call upon God?
