- "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.
|
- If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
- Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
- Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
- How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
- In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
