Wisdom 6:3-5

Common English Bible

³ The Lord gave you authority to rule. The Most High gave you your power. He will watch carefully what you do and examine everything that you are planning. ⁴ You are merely stewards of his kingdom. If you don’t judge rightly, if you don’t keep the Law, or if you don’t act according to God’s plan, ⁵ then he’ll fall upon you very suddenly and very terribly. Judgment falls hard on those in high places.
