44 And Pharʹaoh further said to Joseph: “I am Pharʹaoh, but without your authorization no man may lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”+

25 Immediately King Solʹo·mon sent by means of Be·naiʹah+ the son of Je·hoiʹa·da; and he proceeded to fall upon him, so that he died.*+

26 And as for everyone that does not become a doer of the law of your God+ and the law of the king, let judgment be promptly executed upon him, whether for death+ or for banishment,+ or for money fine+ or for imprisonment.”*

15 Now if YOU are ready so that when YOU hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the zither, the triangular harp, the stringed instrument, and the bagpipe and all sorts of musical instruments,+ YOU fall down and worship the image that I have made, [all right]. But if YOU do not worship, at that same moment YOU will be thrown into the burning fiery furnace. And who is that god* that can rescue YOU out of my hands?”+

13 Let every soul* be in subjection+ to the superior authorities,+ for there is no authority+ except by God;+ the existing authorities stand placed in their relative+ positions* by God.+
