- "But if you have understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words.
- "Shall one who hates justice rule? And will you condemn the righteous mighty One,
- Who says to a king, 'Worthless one,' To nobles, 'Wicked ones';
- Who shows no partiality to princes Nor regards the rich above the poor, For they all are the work of His hands?
- "In a moment they die, and at midnight People are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without a hand.

- "If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.
- Can he who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One?
- Is he not the One who says to kings, 'You are worthless,' and to nobles, 'You are wicked,'
- who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?
- They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
