'Gates' in the Bible
Her gates will mourn and lament; deprived of her people, she will sit on the ground.
On a bare hill raise a signal flag, shout to them, wave your hand, so they might enter the gates of the princes!
Open the gates so a righteous nation can enter -- one that remains trustworthy.
"I thought, 'In the middle of my life I must walk through the gates of Sheol, I am deprived of the rest of my years.'
This is what the Lord says to his chosen one, to Cyrus, whose right hand I hold in order to subdue nations before him, and disarm kings, to open doors before him, so gates remain unclosed:
I will make your pinnacles out of gems, your gates out of beryl, and your outer wall out of beautiful stones.
Your gates will remain open at all times; they will not be shut during the day or at night, so that the wealth of nations may be delivered, with their kings leading the way.
Sounds of violence will no longer be heard in your land, or the sounds of destruction and devastation within your borders. You will name your walls, 'Deliverance,' and your gates, 'Praise.'
Come through! Come through the gates! Prepare the way for the people! Build it! Build the roadway! Remove the stones! Lift a signal flag for the nations!
