The breaking of covenants, the rejection of witnesses, the disregard for anyone indicates that the period of conflict involves a total breakdown of the structures of agreement and common understanding that normally govern human relationships. This verse suggests that the judgment extends to the collapse of civil order and the disintegration of the bonds that hold communities together. The specific reference to the rejection of witnesses indicates that even the mechanisms of verification and truth-telling are abandoned, suggesting a descent into chaos and lawlessness. The verse emphasizes that the judgment involves not only military defeat but the collapse of the social and moral order.
