11 Doth not the ear try words? And the palate taste food for  itself?
         
                                
                        12 With the very aged [is] wisdom, And [with] length of days  understanding.
         
                                
                        13 With Him [are] wisdom and might, To him [are] counsel and  understanding.
         
                                
                        14 Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth  against a man, And it is not opened.
         
                                
                        15 Lo, He keepeth in the waters, and they are dried up, And  he sendeth them forth, And they overturn the land.
         
                                
                        16 With Him [are] strength and wisdom, His the deceived and  deceiver.
         
                                
                        17 Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He  maketh foolish.
