Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.

A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it, but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.

His ways are always secure; Your lofty judgments are beyond his sight; he scoffs at all his adversaries.

But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually.

How magnificent are Your works, Lord, how profound Your thoughts!A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this:

Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive, but a fool’s eyes roam to the ends of the earth.

When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the town square,the young men saw me and withdrew, while older men stood to their feet.City officials stopped talking and covered their mouths with their hands.The noblemen’s voices were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.When they heard me, they blessed me, and when they saw me, they spoke well of me.For I rescued the poor man who cried out for help, and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.The dying man blessed me, and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.I clothed myself in righteousness, and it enveloped me; my just decisions were like a robe and a turban.I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.I was a father to the needy, and I examined the case of the stranger.I shattered the fangs of the unjust and snatched the prey from his teeth.So I thought: I will die in my own nest and multiply my days as the sand.My roots will have access to water, and the dew will rest on my branches all night.My strength will be refreshed within me, and my bow will be renewed in my hand.Men listened to me with expectation, waiting silently for my advice.After a word from me they did not speak again; my speech settled on them like dew.They waited for me as for the rain and opened their mouths as for spring showers.If I smiled at them, they couldn’t believe it; they were thrilled at the light of my countenance.I directed their course and presided as chief. I lived as a king among his troops, like one who comforts those who mourn.

They hate the one who convicts the guilty at the city gate and despise the one who speaks with integrity.

For I know your crimes are many and your sins innumerable. They oppress the righteous, take a bribe, and deprive the poor of justice at the gates.

Hate evil and love good; establish justice in the gate. Perhaps the Lord, the God of Hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

Don’t rob a poor man because he is poor, and don’t crush the oppressed at the gate,

For the discerning the path of life leads upward, so that he may avoid going down to Sheol.

His children are far from safety. They are crushed at the city gate, with no one to rescue them.

Speak up for those who have no voice, for the justice of all who are dispossessed.Speak up, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the oppressed and needy.

those who, with their speech, accuse a person of wrongdoing, who set a trap at the gate for the mediator, and without cause deprive the righteous of justice.

if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child when I saw that I had support in the city gate,
