Job 5:4

4 His sons will be far from prosperity and will be crushed at the gate, and there will be none who can rescue them. ^{▼▼5:4The expression ‘crushed at the gate’ may refer to an unfortunate outcome when they are being judged in court, for the ancient equivalent of the court case took place at the gates of the city, where the public could take notice of the event.(Conte)}
