1Hear, therefore, kings, and understand; learn, you magistrates of the earth’s expanse! 2Give ear, you who have power over multitudes and lord it over throngs of peoples! 3Because authority was given you by the Lord and sovereignty by the Most High, who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels! 4Because, though you were ministers of his kingdom, you did not judge rightly, and did not keep the law, nor walk according to the will of God, 5Terribly and swiftly he shall come against you, because severe judgment awaits the exalted— 6For the lowly may be pardoned out of mercy but the mighty shall be mightily put to the test. 7For the Ruler of all shows no partiality, nor does he fear greatness, Because he himself made the great as well as the small, and provides for all alike; 8but for those in power a rigorous scrutiny impends. 9To you, therefore, O princes, are my words addressed that you may learn wisdom and that you may not fall away. 10For those who keep the holy precepts hallowed will be found holy, and those learned in them will have ready a response. 11Desire therefore my words; long for them and you will be instructed.

3“Defend the lowly and fatherless; render justice to the afflicted and needy. 4Rescue the lowly and poor; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” 6I declare: “Gods though you be, offspring of the Most High all of you, 7Yet like any mortal you shall die; like any prince you shall fall.”

11As he continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was entering a village, ten lepers met [him]. They stood at a distance from him 13and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” 14And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. 15And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; 16and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. 17Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? 18Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” 19Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”
