Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of vnderstanding: farre bee it from God, that he should doe wickednes, and from the Almighty, that hee should commit iniquitie.

For the worke of a man shall he render vnto him, and cause euery man to finde according to his wayes.

Yea surely God will not doe wickedly, neither will the Almighty peruert iudgement.

Who hath giuen him a charge ouer the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?

If he set his heart vpon man, if he gather vnto himselfe his spirit and his breath;

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turne againe vnto dust.

Shall euen he that hateth right, gouerne? and wilt thou condemne him that is most iust?

Is it fit to say to a King, Thou art wicked? and to Princes, Ye are vngodly?

How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more then the poore? for they all are the woorke of his hands.

In a moment shall they die, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and passe away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
