New English Translation
Job 12:17-25
17He leads counselors away stripped and makes judges into fools.
18He loosens the bonds of kings and binds a loincloth around their waist.
19He leads priests away stripped and overthrows the potentates.
20He deprives the trusted advisers of speech and takes away the discernment of elders.
21He pours contempt on noblemen and disarms the powerful.
22He reveals the deep things of darkness, and brings deep shadows into the light.
23He makes nations great, and destroys them; he extends the boundaries of nations and disperses them.
24He deprives the leaders of the earth of their understanding; he makes them wander in a trackless desert waste.
25They grope about in darkness without light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
