American Standard Version
Job 12:17-25
17He leadeth counsellors away stripped,And judges maketh he fools.18He looseth the bond of kings,And he bindeth their loins with a girdle.19He leadeth priests away stripped,And overthroweth the mighty.20He removeth the speech of the trusty,And taketh away the understanding of the elders.21He poureth contempt upon princes,And looseth the belt of the strong.22He uncovereth deep things out of darkness,And bringeth out to light the shadow of death.23He increaseth the nations, and he destroyeth them:He enlargeth the nations, and he leadeth them captive.24He taketh away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth,And causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.25They grope in the dark without light;And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
