Psalm 14:4
 Psalm 14:4 
New International Version (© 2011)
Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the LORD.

King James Bible
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

American Standard Version
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

Young's Literal Translation
Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

Psalm 14:4 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? - Is there not one of them who takes this dreadful subject into consideration? To their deeply fallen state they add cruelty; they oppress and destroy the poor, without either interest or reason.

Who eat up my people as they eat bread - Ye make them an easy and unresisting prey. They have no power to oppose you, and therefore you destroy them. That this is the meaning of the expression, is plain from the speech of Joshua and Caleb relative to the Canaanites. Numbers 14:9 : "Neither fear ye the people or the land; for they are bread for us."

And call not upon the Lord - They have no defense, for they invoke not the Lord. They are all either atheists or idolaters.
