e for evermore; their reward also is
with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High.

Wis 5:16
Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a
beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand
shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.

Wis 5:17
He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and
make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.

Wis 5:18
He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true
judgment instead of an helmet.

Wis 5:19
He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.

Wis 5:20
His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world
shall fight with him against the unwise.

Wis 5:21
Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from
the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the
mark.

Wis 5:22
And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone
bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the
floods shall cruelly drown them.

Wis 5:23
Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a
storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the
whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the
mighty.

Wis 6:1
Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be
judges of the ends of the earth.

Wis 6:2
Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude
of nations.

Wis 6:3
For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the
Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.

Wis 6:4
Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged
aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;

Wis 6:5
Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp
judgment shall be to them that be in high places.

Wis 6:6
For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall
be mightily tormented.

Wis 6:7
For 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.

Wis 6:8
But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.

Wis 6:9
Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn
wisdom, and not fall away.

Wis 6:10
For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and
they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.

Wis 6:11
Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and
ye shall be instructed.
