Wisdom 6:3

3 For power is given you from the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works and search out your counsels.

Wisdom 6:3 In-Context

1 Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.

2 Give ear, you that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.

3 For power is given you from the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works and search out your counsels.

4 Because, being ministers of His Kingdom, you have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked according to 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.
