They hate him who reproves in the gate The phrase "They hate him who reproves in the gate" speaks to the societal rejection of those who stand for justice and truth. In ancient Israel, the "gate" was not merely a physical entryway but a place of judgment and public discourse. It was where elders and leaders gathered to make decisions and settle disputes. The Hebrew word for "reproves" is "יוכיח" (yokhiakh), which implies correction or rebuke. This indicates that those who speak truth and call out injustice are often met with hostility. Historically, prophets and righteous leaders faced opposition when they challenged the status quo, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible. This verse calls believers to recognize the courage required to stand for righteousness, even when it is unpopular. and they abhor him who speaks with integrity Parallel Commentaries ...
