Job 12:13-25

13 a“With God
Hebrew him
are wisdom and might;
he has counsel and understanding.
14If he tears down, none can rebuild;
if he cshuts a man in, none can open.
15If he dwithholds the waters, they dry up;
if he esends them out, they overwhelm the land.
16With him are strength and fsound wisdom;
the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17He leads gcounselors away stripped,
and hjudges he makes fools.
18He ilooses the bonds of kings
and binds a waistcloth on their hips.
19He leads priests away stripped
and overthrows the mighty.
20He deprives of speech those who are trusted
jand takes away the discernment of the elders.
21He kpours contempt on princes
and loosens the belt of the strong.
22He luncovers the deeps out of darkness
and brings mdeep darkness to light.
23He nmakes nations great, and he destroys them;
he enlarges nations, and oleads them away.
24He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth
and pmakes them wander in a trackless waste.
25They qgrope in the dark without light,
and he makes them rstagger like a drunken man.
