Old covenant people in a right state They were proud immoral materialistic existential relativists who were in spiritual decline and unmerciful to the poor.

1 Unscrupulous in financing their pleasure - they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their 'god' - they unjustly fined people to get money for drink - it was an unjust claim society
