11 Are not words tested by the ear, even as food is tasted by the mouth?
         
                                
                        12 Old men have wisdom, and a long life gives knowledge.
         
                                
                        13 With him there is wisdom and strength; power and knowledge are his.
         
                                
                        14 Truly, there is no building up of what is pulled down by him; when a man is shut up by him, no one may let him loose.
         
                                
                        15 Truly, he keeps back the waters and they are dry; he sends them out and the earth is overturned.
         
                                
                        16 With him are strength and wise designs; he who is guided into error, together with his guide, are in his hands;
         
                                
                        17 He takes away the wisdom of the wise guides, and makes judges foolish;
