Job 12:16-22

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ 
“With Him are might and sound wisdom,
The misled and the misleader are His [and in His power].
¹⁷ 
“He makes [great and scheming] counselors walk barefoot
And makes fools of judges.
¹⁸ 
“He loosens the bond of kings
And binds their loins with a loincloth.
¹⁹ 
“He makes priests walk barefoot,
And He overturns men firmly seated and secure.
²⁰ 
“He deprives the trusted ones of speech
And takes away the discernment and discretion of the aged.
²¹ 
“He pours contempt on princes and nobles
And loosens the belt of the strong [disabling them].
²² 
“He uncovers mysteries [that are difficult to grasp and understand] out of the darkness
And brings black gloom and the shadow of death into light.
