Job 12:13 - 12:25

“With Him are wisdom and might;

To Him belong counsel and discernment.

Behold, He pulls down, and it cannot be rebuilt;

He closes a man in, and it cannot be opened.

Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up;

And He sends them out, and they overturn the earth.

With Him are strength and sound wisdom;

The misled and the misleader belong to Him.

He makes counselors walk barefoot

And makes fools of judges.

He opens the bond of kings

And binds their loins with a belt.

He makes priests walk barefoot

And subverts the enduring ones.

He removes speech from the faithful

And takes away the discerning taste of the elders.

He pours contempt on nobles

And loosens the belt of the strong.

He reveals mysteries from the darkness

And brings out the shadows of death into light.

He makes the nations great, then makes them perish;

He enlarges the nations, then leads them away.

He removes the heart of wisdom from the heads of the earth’s people

And makes them wander in a pathless waste.

They grope in darkness with no light,

And He makes them wander about like a drunken man.
