New International Version
Job 12:17-25
17He leads rulers away stripped and makes fools of judges.
18He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist.
19He leads priests away stripped and overthrows officials long established.
20He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders.
21He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.
22He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light.
23He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them.
24He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he makes them wander in a trackless waste.
25They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
