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.
you will suffer sudden and terrible punishment. Judgment is especially severe on those in power.
Terribly and swiftly he shall come against you, because severe judgment awaits the exalted—
he will move against you terribly and swiftly, for stern is the judgment decreed against the high and the mighty.
he will come upon you terribly and swiftly, because severe judgement falls on those in high places.
he will come upon you terribly and swiftly, because severe judgement falls on those in high places.
he will come upon you terribly and swiftly, because severe judgment falls on those in high places.
he will come upon you terribly and swiftly, because severe judgment falls on those in high places.
he will come upon you terribly and swiftly, because severe judgment falls on those in high places.
he will come upon you terribly and swiftly, because severe judgment falls on those in high places.
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.]
