Job 12:12-25

12With aged men is wisdom, and in length of days understanding. 13With him is wisdom and might; he hath counsel and understanding. 14Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. 15Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; again, he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. 16With him is strength and effectual working; the deceived and the deceiver are his. 17He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judges maketh he fools. 18He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth their loins with a girdle. 19He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. 20He removeth the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the elders. 21He poureth contempt upon princes, and looseth the belt of the strong. 22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. 23He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth the nations abroad, and bringeth them in. 24He taketh away the heart of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. 25They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
