How sad for me!
For I am like one who—
when the summer fruit has been gathered
after the gleaning of the grape harvest—
finds no grape cluster to eat,
no early fig, which I crave.
Godly people have vanished from the land;
there is no one upright among the people.
All of them wait in ambush to shed blood;
they hunt each other with a net.
Both hands are good at accomplishing evil:
the official and the judge demand a bribe;
when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,
they plot it together.
The best of them is like a brier;
the most upright is worse than a hedge of thorns.
The day of your watchmen,
the day of your punishment, is coming;
at this time their panic is here.
Do not rely on a friend;
don’t trust in a close companion.
Seal your mouth
from the woman who lies in your arms.
Surely a son considers his father a fool,
a daughter opposes her mother,
and a daughter-in-law is against her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are the men of his own household.

Micah 7:1-6
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I will make youths their leaders,
and the unstable will govern them.”
The people will oppress one another,
man against man, neighbor against neighbor;
the youth will act arrogantly toward the elder,
and the worthless toward the honorable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 3:4-5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lord also says:
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
walking with heads held high
and seductive eyes,
going along with prancing steps,
jingling their ankle bracelets,
the Lord will put scabs on the heads
of the daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will shave their foreheads bare.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 3:16-17
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woe to those enacting crooked statutes
and writing oppressive laws
to keep the poor from getting a fair trial
and to deprive the afflicted among my people of justice,
so that widows can be their spoil
and they can plunder the fatherless.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 10:1-2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone has to be on guard against his friend.
Don’t trust any brother,
for every brother will certainly deceive,
and every friend spread slander.
Each one betrays his friend;
no one tells the truth.
They have taught their tongues to speak lies;
they wear themselves out doing wrong.
You live in a world of deception.
In their deception they refuse to know Me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Jeremiah 9:4-6
I have seen the decline of morality in America with my own eyes. Americans today are a horrible people; shallow, immoral, untrustworthy, backstabbing, arrogant, and to top it off, self-righteous. Of my American friends, those who were moral were destroyed, one went insane and the other killed himself. The rest fit in with America and stabbed me in the back. Of these, the one I knew best chased after my wife. I hate modern Americans and I would never have one as a friend now.
I reject all sides of modern culture. The Left and the Right are just two sides of the same evil beast. The hippie and the banker are the same, both selfish and inconsiderate of others. The banker selfishly pursues wealth without concern for how his actions affect others. The hippie selfishly pursues his pleasures and personal freedoms without concern for how his actions affect others. Modern culture produces big government, broken families, broken communities, bad art, bad architecture, bad urban design, and bad people.
The main point of the prophets of the Old Testament was that Israel had become corrupted by Baal worship. Baal worship was the modern culture of that time. Our modern culture is basically another form of Baal worship. Modern culture is evil and must be completely rejected by moral people.
