14 If he tears down, there is no one who can build up; if he encloses a man, there is no one who can open.
15 If he restrains the waters, everything will dry up; and if he sends them forth, they will subdue the land.
16 With him is strength and wisdom; he knows both the deceiver and he who is deceived.
17 He leads advisors to a foolish end and judges to stupidity.
18 He removes the belt of kings and encircles their waist with a rope.
19 He leads away priests in dishonor and displaces nobles,
20 altering the lips of those who speak the truth and sweeping away the teaching of the aged.
