Two afterthoughts:
A) "The city" of London and "Wall Street" - cities and walls. The locations most adversely affected by the financial crisis due to their adoption of earthly (selfish) laws based on greed, rather than following Nehemiah's example of instituting God's law (mercy) based on love.
B) The "Jubilee Movement" (made famous by Bono and LiveAid, and the Gleneagles G8 Summit along with the 'Make Poverty History' campaign) was criticised for playing into the hands of corrupt bureacrats and evil autocrats who would be forgiven (and by implication, rewarded), for decimating the economies of their countries. But according to the Jubilee idea, the reaction would be one of reciprocation rather than relapse.
