Psalms 53:4

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

Majority Standard Bible

In The King James Version

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

In Context

3All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

5There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.
