5 Awfully and swiftly shall he come upon you; Because a stern judgement befalleth them that be in high place:
6 For the man of low estate may be pardoned in mercy, But mighty men shall be searched out mightily.
7 For the Sovereign Lord of all will not refrain himself for any man’s person, Neither will he reverence greatness; Because it is he that made both small and great, And alike he takes thought for all;
8 But strict is the scrutiny that comes upon the powerful.
9 To you therefore, O princes, are my words, That you⌃ may learn wisdom and fall not from the right way.
10 For they that have kept holily the things that are holy shall themselves be hallowed; And they that have been taught them shall find what to answer;
11 Set your desire therefore on my words; Long for them, and you⌃ shall be trained by their discipline.
