Would someone clarify this section.
(12) And when thou deliveredst up that which God had given thee sight and power to translate,
thou deliveredst up that which was sacred into the hands of a wicked man, (13) Who has set at
naught the counsels of God, and has broken the most sacred promises which were made before
God, and has depended upon his own judgment and boasted in his own wisdom.
In verse 12, how was Joseph tricked or deceived into giving the sacred to the wicked? Who is
being referred to in verse 13 as boasting in his own wisdom?
(15) For thou hast suffered the counsel of thy director to be trampled upon from the beginning.
Who or what is the director and what time frame is 'from the beginning' a reference to?
