Thus saith the Lord Yahweh; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people: (Ezekiel 36:1-3)

There was a joke by Michael Palin, that they were searching for intelligence in space - as it wasn't found on earth. In fact we are told that we don't need to seek it in far space as it is in our mouth!

This Psalm of David is an analysis of the evil that David recognised as existing in mankind in his experiences. As we survey our world today we must be honest and consider whether David’s assessment of mankind corresponds to our world today.
