A Lamentable State of Society
Isaiah 3:5
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor…


Homo homini lupus — man becomes a wolf to man; jusque datum sceleri — wickedness receives the stamp of law; nec hospes ab hospite tutus — the guest and the host are in danger from each other.

( M. Henry.)
