17 He makes (A)advisers walk [a]barefoot
And makes fools of (B)judges.
18 He (C)undoes the binding of kings,
And ties a loincloth around their waist.
19 He makes priests walk [b]barefoot,
And overthrows (D)the secure ones.
20 He deprives the trusted ones of speech,
And (E)takes away the discernment of the elders.
21 He (F)pours contempt on nobles,
And (G)loosens the belt of the strong.
