+Amos 5:10 condemns those who "hate the one who reproves in the gate” and "abhor the one who speaks the truth."
+The gate ([[:hebrew:8179|שַׁעַר]]) was typically where elders judged disputes (<autott>genesis_23:10|Genesis 3:10</autott>, <autott>deuteronomy_21:19|Deuteronomy 21:19</autott> and [[Ruth 4]]:1–11). Parallelism shows that the elite not only refused to uphold justice but actively opposed truth-tellers. And so while some have argued "gate" here might mean a political faction, the surrounding context of legal corruption fits the judicial setting.
+These are the same "strong" (<autott>amos_5:9|Amos 5:9</autott>) who "turn justice to wormwood" (<autott>amos_5:7|Amos 5:7</autott>), making what should be sweet and life-giving into something bitter and deadly.
