Human Depravity
Isaiah 48:8
Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew not; yes, from that time that your ear was not opened…


In conversation with Boswell, Dr. Johnson said, with respect to original sin, the inquiry is not necessary; for, whatever is the cause of human corruption, men are evidently and confessedly so corrupt, that all the laws of heaven and earth are insufficient to restrain them from crimes.

(Boswell's "Life of Johnson.")
