4
Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;
5
Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.
6
For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
7
For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.
8
But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.
9
Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.
10
For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.
11
Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.
12
Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.
13
She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.
14
Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.
