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.
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no value.
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
