19 Ele leva os sacerdotes despojados, e transtorna os poderosos.

20 Ele tira a fala daqueles a quem os outros confiam, e tira o juízo dos anciãos.

21 Ele derrama menosprezo sobre os príncipes, e afrouxa o cinto dos fortes.

22 Ele revela as profundezas das trevas, e traz a sombra de morte à luz.

23 Ele multiplica as nações, e ele as destrói; ele dispersa as nações, e as reúne.
