He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them [again].
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness [where there is] no way.
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like [a] drunken [man].
Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and understood it.
What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I [am] not inferior unto you.
