And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable. The people shall be oppressed, every one by another ... the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient. The anarchy resulting under such imbecile rulers (Isaiah 3:4); unjust exactions mutually; the forms of respect violated (Leviticus 19:32).
The base - low-born. Compare the marks of "the last days" (2 Timothy 3:2), "men shall be lovers of their ownselves ... boasters, proud ... disobedient to parents ... despisers of those that are good ... heady ... highminded."
