Yet [God] preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
with whom the kings of the earth fornicated, and those who inhabit the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
[He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
