No person on this planet seeks God by their own initiative. Rather, mankind is so depraved that they actually seek everything but God.

Man's depravity manifests itself with toxic speech that does not honor nor glorify God.

Unredeemed humanity shows their wickedness by using words that are full of cursing and bitterness.

Another way in which mankind manifests its wickedness is through violent, rebellious acts.
