Wisdom 6:6

6 For mercy will soon pardon the lowliest, but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.

Wisdom 6:6 In-Context

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.
6 For mercy will soon pardon the lowliest, but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
7 For He that 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.
