14. Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again.He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15. Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up.Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
16. With him is strength and wisdom.The deceived and the deceiver are his.
17. He leads counsellors away stripped.He makes judges fools.
18. He loosens the bond of kings.He binds their waist with a belt.
19. He leads priests away stripped,and overthrows the mighty.
20. He removes the speech of those who are trusted,and takes away the understanding of the elders.
21. He pours contempt on princes,and loosens the belt of the strong.
