Job 12:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ With Him are might and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His [and in His power].

¹⁷ He leads [great and scheming] counselors away stripped and barefoot and makes the judges fools [in human estimation, by overthrowing their plans].

¹⁸ He looses the fetters [ordered] by kings and has [the] waistcloth [of a slave] bound about their [own] loins.
