how civilizations collapse

Lamentations 5:16b-18 (JDV)

Lamentations 5:16b Tragedy to us, because we have failed.
Lamentations 5:17 Because of this, our heart is sick; because of these, our eyes grow dim:
Lamentations 5:18 because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate and has jackals prowling in it.

how civilizations collapse

Look how this texts shows that everything is connected. The failure of the people to obey God lead to their depression, lack of vision, and ultimately the destruction and desolation of the city.

That is how civilizations collapse.

Lord, give us the wisdom to walk in integrity before you, to preserve us from destruction.
