Having seen the government and “justice” systems up close, I would describe them as high-stakes poker games, where people are paid to lie. Who is going to be the first to “call a bluff”? Integrity (doing what’s “right” when no-one is watching), truth, and the healthy respect/ fear of God are largely absent. We live in a cursed society.
Isaiah had this to say in chapter 10, beginning in verse 1:
1“Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees,
NKJV
Who write misfortune,
Which they have prescribed
2 To rob the needy of justice,
And to take what is right from the poor of My people,
That widows may be their prey,
And that they may rob the fatherless.
3 What will you do in the day of punishment,
And in the desolation which will come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your glory?
4 Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners,
And they shall fall among the slain.”
Ultimately, the wicked rulers will answer to God.
