# Chapter 53
|
||
1 The fool says in his heart, “There’s no God.”
|
||
They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds.
|
||
There is no one who does good.
|
||
2 God looks down from heaven on the human race
|
||
to see if there is one who is wise,
|
||
one who seeks God.
|
||
3 All have turned away;
|
||
all alike have become corrupt.
|
||
There is no one who does good,
|
||
not even one.
|
||
4 Will evildoers never understand?
|
||
They consume my people as they consume bread;
|
||
they do not call on God.
|
||
5 Then they will be filled with dread—
|
||
dread like no other—
|
||
because God will scatter
|
||
the bones of those who besiege you.
|
||
You will put them to shame,
|
||
for God has rejected them.
|
||
6 Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!
|
||
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
|
||
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad. |
