Rh :The deceived and the deceiver are his.
 * He leadeth counsellors away spoiled,
 * And maketh the judges fools.
 * He looseth the bond of kings,
 * And girdeth their loins with a girdle.
 * He leadeth princes away spoiled,
 * And overthroweth the mighty.
 * He removeth away the speech of the trusty,
 * And taketh away the understanding of the aged.
 * He poureth contempt upon princes,
 * And weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
 * He discovereth deep things out of darkness,
 * And bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
 * He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them:
 * He enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
 * 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.
 * They grope in the dark without light,
 * And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.


 * Lo, eye hath seen all this,
 * Mine ear hath heard and understood it.
 * What ye know, the same do I know also:
 * I am not inferior unto you.
 * Surely I would speak to the Almighty,
