The priest (v.o)

For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. He is the shepherd that leads man to the light during the darkest hours. For he is truly the keeper and protector of man.  Romans 13:4.
