What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
