13. “To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
14. What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; those he imprisons cannot be released.
15. If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
16. To him belong strength and insight; both deceived and deceiver are his.
17. He leads rulers away stripped and makes fools of judges.
18. He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist.
