14. If he tears down, it cannot be rebuilt;if he imprisons a person, there is no escape.
15. If he holds back the waters, then they dry up;if he releases them, they destroy the land.
16. With him are strength and prudence;both the one who goes astrayand the one who misleads are his.
17. He leads counselors away strippedand makes judges into fools.
18. He loosens the bonds of kingsand binds a loincloth around their waist.
19. He leads priests away strippedand overthrows the potentates.
20. He deprives the trusted advisers of speechand takes away the discernment of elders.
