Four things will
destroy a house and remove blessings from it: treachery, theft, consumption of
alcohol, and adultery.‛
Brief Explanation
These will not only destroy a household; but they will destroy a society as well. Whenever treachery influences the social structure trust will be removed from the people. Whenever theft becomes rampant there will be no peace. Whenever alcoholism grows the level of intellectualism will diminish and the number of children with physical defects will increase. Whenever adultery is the norm the family structure will be destroyed causing the future generation to turn to sin.
