18:012:017 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges
           fools.

18:012:018 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a
           girdle.

18:012:019 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

18:012:020 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the
           understanding of the aged.

18:012:021 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength
           of the mighty.

18:012:022 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out
           to light the shadow of death.

18:012:023 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them:  he enlargeth
           the nations, and straiteneth them again.

18:012:024 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the
           earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there
           is no way.

18:012:025 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to
           stagger like a drunken man.

18:013:001 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and
           understood it.

18:013:002 What ye know, the same do I know also:  I am not inferior unto
           you.

18:013:003 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason
           with God.

18:013:004 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

18:013:005 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be
           your wisdom.

18:013:006 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my
           lips.

18:013:007 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

18:013:008 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

18:013:009 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man
           mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

18:013:010 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

18:013:011 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall
           upon you?

18:013:012 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies
           of clay.

18:013:013 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come
           on me what will.

18:013:014 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in
           mine hand?

18:013:015 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:  but I will
           maintain mine own ways before him.

18:013:016 He also shall be my salvation:  for an hypocrite shall not come
           before him.

18:013:017 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

18:013:018 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be
           justified.

18:013:019 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my
           tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
