Quote :: Hear the word of Hashem, children of Israel! For Hashem has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Quote :: Swearing and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery--they break all bounds, and blood touches blood.

Quote :: Therefore the land mourns, and every one that dwells in it is depressed, with the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven; the fishes of the sea also are taken away.
