And I asked "why?"
Because both entities have made the same mistake. Both thought they were smarter than God and ignored His precepts. Both have gone down a road that had an “unknown price” to pay for it. Both are now finding out the price for their choices. Such is the way of sin…..
Consider…
"For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order : if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either." II Thessalonians 3:10
