His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them:

TSK · Proverbs 24:7
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge references in ASV.
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:
How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
To the wise the way of life [goeth] upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath.
Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
Open thy mouth for the dumb, In the cause of all such as are left desolate.
that make a man an offender in [his] cause, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought.
For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins--ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate [from their right] .
Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
