11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof. The very
heart of the city was base. In her places of authority crime went hand in hand
with calamity. The population was utterly demoralized; prosperity had vanished
and order with it. Deceit and guile depart not from her streets. Crafty
tongues were busy persuading the people; their good king was defamed in all
ways, and when they saw him go away, they fell to reviling the governors
of their own choosing.
