19 He leads away priests strippedand overthrows the mighty.
20 He removes speech from the trusted onesand takes away the understanding of the aged.
21 He pours contempt upon princesand loosens the belt of the mighty.
22 He uncovers deep things out of darknessand brings the shadow of death to light.
23 He increases the nations and destroys them;He enlarges the nations and guides them.
24 He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth,and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 They grope in the dark without light,and He makes them to stagger like a drunk man.
