Instead of the living and true God, they create gods in their own image and likeness. Once they commit idolatry they are caught in the snares of corruption and detestable deeds. Gradually they loose the gift of recognizing goodness in others and in them. Selfishness overpowers them. In the wheat field the weeds have grown and overtaken the field.
Man seems to go from one sin to another.
There is so much of evil in the heart of man. The soul recognizes this grief not only in itself but also in the heart of God. The soul seeks to understand why the wicked in their arrogance choose a path so contrary to the will of God. One of the consequences of evil that the wicked do is that they do injustice. They break down the lowly, the widow, the orphan, the stranger and the little ones as if he is breaking bread.
