CASTING OFF RESTRAINT
Pr 29:18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.
"Revelation" here is the idea of prophetic revelation of the application of the law. If you read the prophets such as Isaiah and Jeremiah you will note an emphasis on sin and the law. If the standards contained in the Word of God are not being preached or otherwise communicated, people cast off restraint. Such in the case in much of the world today.
If you want society to stop casting off restraint, then allow for the preaching the Word of God.
