He removeth away the speech of the trusty, And taketh away the understanding of the aged.
Great men are not always wise: Neither do the aged understand judgment.
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
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.
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: But they that deal truly are his delight.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
The lips of the righteous feed many: But fools die for want of wisdom.
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
