God's Absolute Sovereignty
All commentators agree that this verse powerfully illustrates God's absolute sovereignty. He can nullify the plans of the wisest human leaders, leading 'counsellors away stripped' (plundered or captive) and rendering the decisions of powerful 'judges' foolish. This demonstrates that no amount of human wisdom or status can stand against God's will.
