Page 318 - As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Page 177 - Go, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but understand not; And see ye indeed, but perceive not.
