He blindfolds^[b] its judges.^(A)
If it isn’t He, then who is it?

¹⁴ therefore I will again confound these people
with wonder after wonder.^(A)
The wisdom of their wise men will vanish,^(B)
and the understanding of the perceptive will be hidden.

²⁵ who destroys the omens of the false prophets
and makes fools of diviners;
who confounds the wise
and makes their knowledge foolishness;^(A)
