¹⁴     So, then, what God tears down cannot be built back up;
        the man He shuts up cannot be released.
¹⁵     If God withholds the rains and stops the streams from flowing, the earth suffers drought;
        if He unleashes too much, the lands are ravaged by flood.
¹⁶     He is strong, and sound wisdom belongs to Him:
        whether one deceives or is deceived, he is under God’s control.
