Wisdom 6:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ For the Lord of all will not stand in awe of anyone,
or show deference to greatness;
because he himself made both small and great,
and he takes thought for all alike.
⁸ But a strict inquiry is in store for the mighty.
⁹ To you then, O monarchs, my words are directed,
so that you may learn wisdom and not transgress.
