The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.

And the people hath exacted—man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured.
