13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I (can) discern: and I have removed the bounds of peoples, and robbed their treasures, and brought down, like a mighty one, them that ’enthroned:

14 And my hand hath reached, as a nest, the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there. was none that fluttered a wing, or opened a mouth, or peeped.
