Rulers should seek wisdom and righteousness

1 So then listen, you rulers, and understand. Learn, you who judge the far reaches of the earth.

Wisdom 6:1 In-Context

1 So then listen, you rulers, and understand. Learn, you who judge the far reaches of the earth.

2 Pay attention, you who have power over multitudes, you who take pride in having power over throngs of nations.

3 The Lord gave you authority to rule. The Most High gave you your power. He will watch carefully what you do and examine everything that you are planning.

4 You are merely stewards of his kingdom. If you don't judge rightly, if you don't keep the Law, or if you don't act according to God's plan,

5 then he'll fall upon you very suddenly and very terribly. Judgment falls hard on those in high places.
