Wisdom 6:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Those who aren’t important may be pardoned out of compassion, but the powerful will be powerfully examined. ⁷ The ruler of all won’t back down from anyone. He won’t show any special consideration to someone whom others consider great. The ruler of all made both the small and the great, and he regards them all in the same way. ⁸ But a stern judgment will fall upon the ruthless.
