God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the“ gods”:

God takes his place at the head of a large gathering of leaders. He announces his decisions among them.

God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

God stands in the divine assembly; he pronounces judgment among the gods:

God takes His position in His assembly; He judges in the midst of the gods.

God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.

God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.

God has taken His place in the divine assembly; He judges among the gods:

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

God stands in the assembly of El; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. So if those people who received God’s message were called‘ gods,’

and he said to them,“ Always think carefully before pronouncing judgment. Remember that you do not judge to please people but to please the Lord. He will be with you when you render the verdict in each case.Fear the Lord and judge with integrity, for the Lord our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes.”

I say,‘ You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.’”

The Lord takes his place in court and presents his case against his people.

Don’t be surprised if you see a poor person being oppressed by the powerful and if justice is being miscarried throughout the land. For every official is under orders from higher up, and matters of justice get lost in red tape and bureaucracy.

Then at last everyone will say,“ There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.”

I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods.

If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door or doorpost and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will serve his master for life.

“ You must not dishonor God or curse any of your rulers.

But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.
