16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. |
17 He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. |
18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. |
19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. |
20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. |
21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. |
22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. |
23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. |
24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. |
25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man. |
