15. Drought comes when God withholds rain;floods come when he turns water loose.
16. God is strong and always victorious;both deceived and deceiver are in his power.
17. He takes away the wisdom of rulersand makes leaders act like fools.
18. He dethrones kings and makes them prisoners;
19. he humbles priests and men of power.
20. He silences those who are trusted,and takes the wisdom of old people away.
