Job 12:16-22
16With Him are strength and sound wisdom, The 1misled and the misleader belong to Him.17He makes 2counselors walk 3barefoot And makes fools of 4judges.18He 5loosens the 6bond of kings And binds their loins with a girdle.19He makes priests walk 7barefoot And overthrows 8the secure ones.20He deprives the trusted ones of speech And 9takes away the discernment of the elders.21He 10pours contempt on nobles And 11loosens the belt of the strong.22He 12reveals mysteries from the darkness And brings the deep darkness into light.
