DemocracyEx 23:2 "Don't join mobs intent on evil.

Ex 32:21 Then he turned to Aaron. "What in the
world did the people do to you," he demanded, "to make you bring such a terrible
sin upon them?" 22 "Don't get so upset," Aaron replied. "You know these people
and what a wicked bunch they are. 23 They said to me, 'Make us a god to lead
us, for something has happened to this fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt.'
24 Well, I told them, 'Bring me your gold earrings.' So they brought them
to me and I threw them into the fire, and . . . well . . . this calf came
out!" 25 When Moses saw that the people had been committing adultery-at Aaron's
encouragement, and much to the amusement of their enemies- 26 he stood at
the camp entrance and shouted, "All of you who are on the Lord's side, come
over here and join me." And all the Levites came. 27 He told them, "Jehovah
the God of Israel says, 'Get your swords and go back and forth from one end
of the camp to the other and kill even your brothers, friends, and neighbors.'"
28 So they did, and about three thousand men died that day. 29 Then Moses
told the Levites, "Today you have ordained yourselves for the service of
the Lord, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and
brothers; now he will give you a great blessing."

Law and order Ps 11:3 The foundations
of law and order have collapsed.What can the righteous do?" 4 But the LORD
is in his holy Temple; the LORD still rules from heaven.He watches everything
closely, examining everyone on earth. 5 The LORD examines both the righteous
and the wicked.He hates everyone who loves violence. 6 He rains down blazing
coals on the wicked, punishing them with burning sulfur and scorching winds.
7 For the LORD is righteous, and he loves justice.Those who do what is right
will see his face. NLT
