'Respected' in the Bible

captains of groups of fifty, the respected citizens, advisers and those skilled in magical arts, and those who know incantations.

The people will treat each other harshly; men will oppose each other; neighbors will fight. Youths will proudly defy the elderly and riffraff will challenge those who were once respected.

The leaders and the highly respected people are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
