“I did this with my own two powerful hands.
    I did this with my wisdom, because I am so clever.

    I’ve brought down people like a mighty man.
14 I’ve found the riches of nations as one finds a nest.
    I’ve gathered the whole world as one gathers abandoned eggs.
    Not one of them flapped a wing, opened its mouth, or peeped.”

    A wooden stick cannot pick up a person.
