Job 12:17-21

17He makes 1counselors walk 2barefoot And makes fools of 3judges.18He 4loosens the 5bond of kings And binds their loins with a girdle.19He makes priests walk 6barefoot And overthrows 7the secure ones.20He deprives the trusted ones of speech And 8takes away the discernment of the elders.21He 9pours contempt on nobles And 10loosens the belt of the strong.
