| 6 | They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. | They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious. | They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep. |
