19. God removes priests and otherswho have great power—
20. he confuses wise,experienced advisers,
21. puts mighty kings to shame,and takes away their power.
22. God turns darkness to light;
23. he makes nations strong,then shatters their strength.
24. God strikes their rulers senseless,then leaves them to roamthrough barren deserts,
25. lost in the dark, staggeringlike someone drunk.
