“He builds nations up, then ruins them; he makes peoples expand, then suppresses them. 24 He strips a country’s leaders of their judgement, and leaves them to wander in a trackless waste, 25 to grope about in unlit darkness, lurching to and fro like a drunkard.’ 13 1 ‘Look, I have seen all this with my own eyes, heard with my own ears and understood. 2 Whatever you know, I know too; I am in no way inferior to you. 3 But my words are intended for Shaddai; I shall argue my case with God. 4 As for you, you whitewash with lies, all worthless as healers! 5 Will no one keep you silent? That would be wisdom for you!”
