Job 12:17-25

17He leads counselors away barefoot and makes judges go mad.

18He releases the bonds put on by kings and fastens a belt around their waists.

19He leads priests away barefoot and overthrows established leaders.

20He deprives trusted advisers of speech and takes away the elders’ good judgment.

21He pours out contempt on nobles and disarms the strong.

22He reveals mysteries from the darkness and brings the deepest darkness into the light.

23He makes nations great, then destroys them; he enlarges nations, then leads them away.

24He deprives the world’s leaders of reason, and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.

25They grope around in darkness without light; he makes them stagger like a drunkard.
