Abstract

“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge”

“Hear the Word of the LORD, you inhabitants of our land, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgement of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away: the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying.”2

Title of a recent conservative Protestant publication (Van der Graaf & Kole, 1986).
