Wisdom 6:3
Print
The Lord gave you authority to rule. The Most High gave you your power. He will watch carefully what you do and examine everything that you are planning.
Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in multitudes of nations:
but this authority has been given to you by the Lord Most High. He will examine what you have done and what you plan to do.
Because authority was given you by the Lord and sovereignty by the Most High, who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels!
Your sovereignty was bestowed on you by the Lord and your power by the Most High, who will probe your deeds and scrutinize your intentions.
For your dominion was given you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High; he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
For your dominion was given you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High; he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
For your dominion was given you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High; he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
For your dominion was given you from the Lord and your sovereignty from the Most High; he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
For your dominion was given you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High, who will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
For your dominion was given you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High, who will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
for why power is given of (or from) the Lord to you, and virtue is given of (or from) the Highest, that shall ask (about) your works, and shall search (your) thoughts.
