What does the Bible say about God's authority over judges?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible declares that God is supreme over all magistrates and judges, emphasizing that all earthly authority is derived from Him.

Psalm 82 reveals the supremacy of God over earthly judges, illustrating that those in positions of authority must recognize their accountability to Him. The text emphasizes that while magistrates may wield power, it is God who ultimately judges their actions. This perspective is supported by the assertion that God's eye sees the heart of each individual, demonstrating His sovereignty over both just and unjust leaders. The passage reminds us that earthly authority is transient and must align with God’s justice, foreshadowing that a day of divine judgment will occur when God will execute perfect justice.
