Wisdom 6:6-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. Horribly and quickly he will appear to you, because he will make a severe judgment for those who are in charge.

7. For, to the little, great mercy is granted, but the powerful will endure powerful torment.

8. For the Lord will not exempt anyone's character, nor will he stand in awe of anyone's greatness, because he himself made the little and the great, and he is equally concerned for everyone.

9. But a powerful torture pursues the powerful.

10. Therefore, O kings, these, my words, are for you, so that you may learn wisdom and not perish.
