Judges 17

Law is powerless to change human nature; it can only protect life and property by regulating human behavior. One of the most dangerous and disastrous periods in Jewish history was the time of the judges when “every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25). The enforcing of good laws does NOT guarantee a perfect society, but it DOES promote order and prevent anarchy. -Ron Purkey
