Wisdom 6:4-6

Wycliffe Bible

⁴ For when ye were ministers of his realm, ye deemed not rightfully, neither ye kept the law of rightfulness, neither ye went by the will of God. [For when ye were ministers of his realm, not rightly ye deemed, nor kept the law of rightwiseness, nor after the will of God ye went.]

⁵ Hideously and soon he shall appear to you; for why harshest doom shall be made in (or on) them, that be sovereigns. [Horribly and soon he shall appear to you; for most hard doom shall be done in (or to) them, that be before.]

⁶ Forsooth mercy is granted to a little man; but mighty men shall suffer torments mightily. [Forsooth to the little is granted mercy; mighty men forsooth mightily torments shall suffer.]
