Wisdom 6:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³ For your dominion was given you from the Lord,
and your sovereignty from the Most High;
he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
⁴ Because as servants of his kingdom you did not rule rightly,
or keep the law,
or walk according to the purpose of God,
⁵ he will come upon you terribly and swiftly,
because severe judgement falls on those in high places.
