A Chiasm on Unjust Judges in Psalm 82

This chiasm is brought to you, in part, by one of my Chiasm Course students at Common Sense Bible Study.


  • V1 – God rises to judge the judges (elohim)
    • V2 – God accuses the unjust judges
      • v3-4 - A righteous judge ensures justice for the oppressed
        • V5a – They have no [divine] knowledge or understanding
          • V5b – They walk in darkness
        • V5c – The foundations of the earth are shaken (unstable)
      • V6 - Judge righteously because you are a child of God
    • V7 – God sentences the unjust judges
  • V8 – God rises to judge the world
Knowing that this Psalm is all about God correcting the abuses of an oppressive leadership, how does that effect your understanding of Yeshua's conversation with the Jewish leadership at Hanukkah in John 10:22-42?
