6 He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.
`And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,
Because sentence hath not been done `on' an evil work speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within them to do evil.
