Job 12:13-25
-
13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
-
14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
-
15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
-
16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
-
17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
-
18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
-
19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
-
20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
-
21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
-
22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
-
23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
-
24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
-
25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
