This verse is very relevant today with the increase in crime and district attorneys unwilling to do their jobs and uphold the law. Cities in California, Oregon, Minnesota and New York are crime infested dangerous places. The U.S. is experiencing record highs in major crimes. Criminals laugh in the face of law enforcement because they know they will not be punished. When the victims of crime fight back they go to jail rather than the criminal. If you live in a city overrun by crime find a way to get out because it's only going to get worse.
