The Lowly are Pardoned but the Mighty are put to the Test

Wisdom!
Hear, therefore, kings, and understand; learn, you magistrates of the earth's expanse! Hearken, you who are in power over the multitude and lord it over throngs of peoples! Because authority was given you by the LORD and sovereignty by the Most High, who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels! Because, though you were ministers of his kingdom, you judged not rightly, and did not keep the law, nor walk according to the will of God, Terribly and swiftly shall he come against you, because judgment is stern for the exalted - for the lowly may be pardoned out of mercy but the mighty shall be mightily put to the test. For the Lord of all shows no partiality, nor does he fear greatness, because he himself made the great as well as the small, and he provides for all alike; but for those in power a rigorous scrutiny impends. To you, therefore, O princes, are my words addressed that you may learn wisdom and that you may not sin? For those who keep the holy precepts hallowed shall be found holy, and those learned in them will have ready a response. Desire therefore my words; long for them and you shall be instructed. Wisdom 6:1-11
Psalm 82
R Rise up, O God, bring judgment to the earth!

Defend the lowly and the fatherless;
Render justice to the afflicted and the destitute.
Rescue the lowly and the poor;
From the hand of the wicked deliver them. R

I said: “You are like gods,"
All of you sons of the Most High;
Yet like men you shall die,
And fall like any prince. R
