11 Does not the ear test wordsand the mouth taste its food?
12 Wisdom is with the elderly,and understanding comes with long life.
13 “With Him are wisdom and strength;He has counsel and understanding.
14 Surely, He tears down, and it cannot be built again;He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 Surely, He withholds the waters, and they dry up;also He sends them out, and they overthrow the earth.
16 With Him are strength and wisdom.The deceived and the deceiver are His.
17 He leads counselors away strippedand makes fools of judges.
