Wisdom of Solomon 6:8
King James VersionSource notes
“But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.”
Context
5Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.
6For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
7For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man’s person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man’s greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.
8But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.
9Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.
10For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.
11Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.
