so that their hands cannot accomplish
what they had planned!

Men whose strength had perished;
33:15 In a dream, a night vision,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they sleep in their beds.
36:9 then he reveals to them what they have done,
and their transgressions,
that they were behaving proudly.

or can you set up their rule over the earth?
39:4 Their young grow strong, and grow up in the open;
they go off, and do not return to them.
