14 What he tears down(A) cannot be rebuilt;(B)
    those he imprisons cannot be released.(C)
15 If he holds back the waters,(D) there is drought;(E)
    if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.(F)
16 To him belong strength and insight;(G)
    both deceived and deceiver are his.(H)
17 He leads rulers away stripped(I)
    and makes fools of judges.(J)
18 He takes off the shackles(K) put on by kings
    and ties a loincloth[a] around their waist.(L)
