Opening the chapter…
God stands in heaven in a meeting of all the spirits whom he has placed in charge of what he created. He tells them that he has decided this:
"You must stop judging people unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked people!
You must defend people who are poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
Rescue them from the power of the wicked people!"
Those rulers do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt, and as a result of their corrupt behavior, it is as though the foundation of the world is being shaken!
I previously said to them, "You think you are gods! It is as though you are all my sons,
but you will die as people do; your lives will end as the lives of all rulers end."
God, arise and judge everyone on the earth because all the peoples belong to you!
