16 With him is strength and wisdom; he knows both the deceiver and he who is deceived.
17 He leads advisors to a foolish end and judges to stupidity.
18 He removes the belt of kings and encircles their waist with a rope.
19 He leads away priests in dishonor and displaces nobles,
20 altering the lips of those who speak the truth and sweeping away the teaching of the aged.
