Wisdom 6:5-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
5 he will come upon you terribly and swiftly,
because severe judgment falls on those in high places.
6 For the lowliest man may be pardoned in mercy,
but mighty men will be mightily tested.[a]
7 For the Lord of all will not stand in awe of any one,
nor show deference to greatness;
because he himself made both small and great,
and he takes thought for all alike.
Footnotes
- 6.6 tested: The meaning seems rather to be “tormented” and to refer to punishment.
