16 He is strong and victorious;both the one who fools others and the one who is fooled belong to him.
17 God leads the wise away as captivesand turns judges into fools.
18 He takes off chains that kings put onand puts a garment on their bodies.
19 He leads priests away nakedand destroys the powerful.
20 He makes trusted people be silentand takes away the wisdom of elders.
21 He brings disgrace on important peopleand takes away the weapons of the strong.
22 He uncovers the deep things of darknessand brings dark shadows into the light.
