but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.

whosoever thou art that judgest:

thou condemnest thyself;

is according to truth against them
which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man,
that judgest them which do such things,
and doest the same,
that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

if he thirst, give him drink:
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire
on his head.
