Wisdom 6:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Give ear, you who have power over multitudes
and lord it over throngs of peoples!
3 Because authority was given you by the Lord
and sovereignty by the Most High,
who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels!(A)
4 Because, though you were ministers of his kingdom, you did not judge rightly,
and did not keep the law,[a]
nor walk according to the will of God,
