Parallelism shows that the elite not only refused to uphold justice but actively opposed truth-tellers. 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” (v. 9) who “turn justice to wormwood” (v. 7) — making what should be sweet and life-giving into something bitter and deadly. | 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).
