TSK · Judges 21:25

In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were therein, how they lived in security, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put [them] to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with any man.

who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
