CLV(i)
13 With Him is wisdom and mastery; His are counsel and understanding.
14 Behold, He demolishes, and it shall not be rebuilt; He locks up a man, and it shall not be opened.
15 Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up, Or He sends them forth, and they overrun the earth.
16 With Him are strength and prosperity; Both the erring one and the one causing error are His.
17 Causing counselors to go forth looted, He also makes judges rave as fools.
18 He unlooses the disciplining authority of kings, And He binds a belt about their waists.
19 Causing priests to go forth looted, He also overthrows the well-established.
20 Putting away the eloquence of the sure, He also takes away the discretion of elders.
21 Pouring out contempt on patrons, He also makes the cordon of the mighty repressors to slacken.
22 Exposing the deep things out of darkness, He also brings forth the blackest shadow to light.
23 Making nations grow great, He also destroys them; Spreading out nations, He also guides them away.
24 Putting away wisdom of heart from the heads of the people of the earth, He also makes them stray in a roadless waste.
25 They grope in darkness with no light, And He makes them stray like a drunkard.
