Job 12:12-25

12With agedH3453 menH3453 is wisdomH2451, and in lengthH753 of daysH3117 understandingH8394. 13With him is wisdomH2451 and might; he hath counselH6098 and understandingH8394. 14BeholdH2005, he breaketh downH2040, and it cannotH3808 be builtH1129 again; he shutteth upH5921 a manH376, and there canH3808 be noH3808 opening. 15BeholdH2005, he withholdeth the watersH4325, and they dryH3001 upH3001; againH7971, he sendeth them outH7971, and they overturn the earthH776. 16With him is strengthH5797 and effectual working; the deceived and the deceiver are his. 17He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judgesH8199 maketh he fools. 18He looseth the bond of kingsH4428, and bindeth their loinsH4975 with a girdleH232. 19He leadeth priestsH3548 away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. 20He removeth the speechH8193 of the trusty, and taketh awayH5493 the understanding of the eldersH2205. 21He poureth contemptH937 uponH5921 princesH5081, and looseth the belt of the strongH650. 22He discovereth deepH6757 things outH3318 of darknessH2822, and bringeth outH3318 to lightH216 the shadowH6757 of deathH6757. 23He increaseth the nationsH1471, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth the nationsH1471 abroad, and bringeth them in. 24He taketh awayH5493 the heartH3820 of the chiefsH7218 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, and causeth them to wanderH8582 in a wildernessH8414 whereH3808 there is noH3808 wayH1870. 25They gropeH4959 in the darkH2822 withoutH3808 lightH216, and he maketh them to staggerH8582 like a drunkenH7910 manH7910.
