¹⁴ Where there is no ^(A)guidance the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is ^[a]victory.

But sin is a disgrace to any people.

²³ “He ^(A)makes the nations great, then destroys them;
He ^[a]enlarges the nations, then leads them away.
²⁴ “He ^(B)deprives of intelligence the chiefs of the earth’s people
And makes them wander in a pathless waste.
²⁵ “They ^(C)grope in darkness with no light,
And He makes them ^(D)stagger like a drunken man.
