If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter: for one higher than the high regardeth; and there are higher than they.

If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they.

Εαν ιδης καταθλιψιν πενητος και παραβιασιν κρισεως και δικαιοσυνης εν τη χωρα, μη θαυμασης δια τουτο· διοτι ο επι τον υψηλον υψηλοτερος επιτηρει· και επι τουτους υψηλοτεροι.

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
