Job 12:14-18
English Standard Version
14 If he tears down, none can rebuild;
if he (A)shuts a man in, none can open.
15 If he (B)withholds the waters, they dry up;
if he (C)sends them out, they overwhelm the land.
16 With him are strength and (D)sound wisdom;
the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 He leads (E)counselors away stripped,
and (F)judges he makes fools.
18 He (G)looses the bonds of kings
and binds a waistcloth on their hips.
