Either this is the prophet's complaint of them without further expecting their compliance with his advice, or he foretells what they will do, judges and people. They hate him that rebuketh; they both hate them that rebuke; judges hate the prophets, who rebuke corrupt judges; and the people hate impartial judges, if any such be among them. In the gate; where judges sat, and where the prophets did many times deliver their message. They abhor him that speaketh uprightly; they cannot brook any one that deals plainly and honestly with them, whether judge, prophet, or private person.
