Job 12:22-25

22He discoverethH1540 deep thingsH6013 out of darknessH2822, and bringeth outH3318 to lightH216 the shadow of deathH6757.

23He increasethH7679 the nationsH1471, and destroyethH6 them: he enlargethH7849 the nationsH1471, and straitenethH5148 them again.1

24He taketh awayH5493 the heartH3820 of the chiefH7218 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, and causeth them to wanderH8582 in a wildernessH8414 where there is no wayH1870.

25They gropeH4959 in the darkH2822 without lightH216, and he maketh them to staggerH8582 like a drunkenH7910 man.2
