“If now you have understanding, hear this.
Listen to the voice of my words.
Should even one who hates justice govern?
Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty, who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.
In a moment they die, even at midnight.
The people are shaken and pass away.
The mighty are taken away without a hand.
