A quotation from The Bible
Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;
Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.
For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.

οὐδὲ ἐφυλάξατε νόμον
οὐδὲ κατὰ τὴν βουλ

[ὅτι ὑπηρέται ὄντες τῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλείας οὐκ ἐκρίνατε ὀρθῶς
οὐδὲ ἐφυλάξατε νόμον
οὐδὲ κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπορεύθητε.
φρικτῶς καὶ ταχέως ἐπιστήσεται ὑμῖν,
ὅτι κρίσις ἀπότομος ἐν τοῖς ὑπερέχουσιν γίνεται.
ὁ γὰρ ἐλάχιστος συγγνωστός ἐστιν ἐλέους,
δυνατοὶ δὲ δυνατῶς ἐτασθήσονται·]
