Job 12:16-22
16Strength and sound wisdom are with Him. One who 1goes astray and one who leads astray belong to Him.17He makes 2advisers walk 3barefoot And makes fools of 4judges.18He 5undoes the binding of kings, And ties a loincloth around their waist.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.22He 11reveals mysteries from the darkness, And brings the deep darkness into light.
