Psalms 82:2-8

82:2 He says, “How long will you make unjust legal decisions

and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

82:3 Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless!

Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!

82:4 Rescue the poor and needy!

Deliver them from the power of the wicked!

82:5 They neither know nor understand.

They stumble around in the dark,

while all the foundations of the earth crumble.

82:6 I thought, ‘You are gods;

all of you are sons of the Most High.’

82:7 Yet you will die like mortals;

you will fall like all the other rulers.”

82:8 Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth!

For you own all the nations.

1:22 “How long will you simpletons love naiveté?

How long will mockers delight in mockery

8:5 You who are naive, discern wisdom!

And you fools, understand discernment!

9:6 Abandon your foolish ways so that you may live,

and proceed in the way of understanding.”
