11 Does not the ear test words
And the
1 mouth taste its food?
12 Wisdom
is with aged men,
And with
1 length of days, understanding.
13 “With Him
are awisdom and strength,
He has counsel and understanding.
14 If
aHe breaks
a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt;
If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.
15 If He
awithholds the waters, they dry up;
If He
bsends them out, they overwhelm the earth.
16 With Him
are strength and prudence.
The deceived and the deceiver
are His.
17 He leads counselors away plundered,
And makes fools of the judges.
18 He loosens the bonds of kings,
And binds their waist with a belt.
