14 If he tears down, none can rebuild;if he shuts a man in, none can open.
15 If he withholds the waters, they dry up;if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land.
16 With him are strength and sound wisdom;the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 He leads counselors away stripped,and judges he makes fools.
18 He looses the bonds of kingsand binds a waistcloth on their hips.
19 He leads priests away strippedand overthrows the mighty.
20 He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment of the elders.
