10 It is God who directs the lives of his creatures;everyone's life is in his power.
11 But just as your tongue enjoys tasting food,your ears enjoy hearing words.
12-13 Old people have wisdom,but God has wisdom and power.Old people have insight;God has insight and power to act.
14 When God tears down, who can rebuild,and who can free those God imprisons?
15 Drought comes when God withholds rain;floods come when he turns water loose.
16 God is strong and always victorious;both deceived and deceiver are in his power.
17 He takes away the wisdom of rulersand makes leaders act like fools.
