¹² Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We won't come up:

⁹ If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, The fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.

⁵ The people will be oppressed, Everyone by another, And everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, And the base against the honorable.

¹³ Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

¹⁴ or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to those who do well.

⁸ Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
