Wisdom 6:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ For power is given you by the Lord, and strength by the most High, who will examine your works, and search out your thoughts:

⁵ Because being ministers of his kingdom, you have not judged rightly, nor kept the law of justice, nor walked according to the will of God.

⁶ Horribly and speedily will he appear to you: for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule.
