God Judges the Judges…

I haven’t seen this paragraph before:

God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods [“judges” – God judges the judges. On what criterion?].

How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah

Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.  (Psalm 82.1 – 4, NKJV)

Some things (maybe most things!) don’t change. We are still oppressing the poor, and sometimes immigration enforcement is just that.

And if the judges fail?

I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.” (Psalm 82.6, 7, NKJV)

God always has the last word.
