or their works, as the Chaldee paraphrase adds; or their ways, their manner and course of life, ; and they corrupt others with their evil communications, their bad principles and practices, their ill examples and wicked lives;they have done abominable works: every sinful action is abominable in the sight of God; but there are some sins more abominable than others; there are abominable idolatries, and abominable lusts, such as were committed in Sodom; and it may be these are pointed at here, and which are usually committed by such who like not to retain God in their knowledge; see Ro 1:24;[there is] none that doeth good; anyone good work in a spiritual manner; not in faith, from love, in the name and strength of Christ, and with a view to the glory of God: nor can any man do a good work without the grace of God, and strength from Christ, and the assistance of the Spirit of God: hence, whatsoever a wicked man does, whether in a civil or in a religious way, is sin; see Pr 21:4.

Arama takes these to be the words of the fool, or atheist, saying, there is no God that does good, like those in Zep 1:12. Vid. Jarchi, Kimchi & Ben Melech in loc.
