11 Certainly the ear proves words and the mouth tastes foods.
12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days intelligence.
13 With him is wisdom and strength; he has counsel and intelligence.
14 Behold, he shall break down, and it shall not be built again; he shall shut up a man, and no one shall be able to open unto him.
15 Behold, he shall withhold the waters, and they shall dry up; also he shall send them forth, and they shall destroy the earth.
16 With him is strength and existence; he who errs and he who leads astray are his.
17 He causes the counsellors to walk away stripped of counsel and makes the judges to be fools.
