Wisdom 3:8

8 The godly will judge nations and hold power over peoples, even as the Lord will rule over them forever.

Wisdom 3:8 In-Context

6 He tested them like gold in the furnace; he accepted them like an entirely burned offering.
7 Then, when the time comes for judgment, the godly will burst forth and run about like fiery sparks among dry straw.
8 The godly will judge nations and hold power over peoples, even as the Lord will rule over them forever.
9 Those who trust in the Lord will know the truth. Those who are faithful will always be with him in love. Favor and mercy belong to the holy ones. God watches over God's chosen ones.
10 The ungodly will get what their evil thinking deserves. They had no regard for the one who did what was right, and instead, they rose up against the Lord.
