13. But [only] with [God] are [perfect] wisdom and might; He [alone] has [true] counsel and understanding.
14. Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be built again; He shuts a man in, and none can open.
15. He withholds the waters, and the land dries up; again, He sends forth [rains], and they overwhelm the land or transform it.
16. With Him are might and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His [and in His power].
17. He leads [great and scheming] counselors away stripped and barefoot and makes the judges fools [in human estimation, by overthrowing their plans].
18. He looses the fetters [ordered] by kings and has [the] waistcloth [of a slave] bound about their [own] loins.
