- ὃς οὐκ ἐπαισχυνθῇ πρόσωπον ἐντίμου, οὐδὲ οἶδεν τιμὴν θέσθαι ἁδροῖς, θαυμασθῆναι πρόσωπα αὐτῶν.

- אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא נָשָׂ֨א פְּנֵ֥י שָׂרִ֗ים וְלֹ֣א נִכַּר שׁ֭וֹעַ לִפְנֵי דָ֑ל כִּֽי מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדָ֣יו כֻּלָּֽם
Haydock's commentary
Tyrant. This title is not always odious. It formerly was given to all princes, and came to be used in a bad sense, on account of the misconduct of some kings of Sicily. Tyrannus a rege distat factis, non nomine. (Sen.[Seneca?] Clem. xii.)
Hebrew, "the rich more than the poor." (Haydock)
God fears not to rebuke even the greatest princes, and dost thou dare to arraign his justice? (Calmet)
