13. Wisdom and strength belong to God;counsel and understanding are His.
14. Whatever He tears down cannot be rebuilt;whoever He imprisons cannot be released.
15. When He withholds the waters, everything dries up,and when He releases them, they destroy the land.
16. True wisdom and power belong to Him.The deceived and the deceiver are His.
17. He leads counselors away barefootand makes judges go mad.
18. He releases the bonds put on by kings and fastens a belt around their waists.
19. He leads priests away barefootand overthrows established leaders.
