Job 12:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 He makes nations great and destroys them,
spreads peoples abroad and abandons them.
24 He takes understanding from the leaders of the land,
makes them wander in a pathless desert.
25 They grope in the darkness without light;
he makes them wander like drunkards.
Job 12:23-25
New King James Version
23 (A)He makes nations great, and destroys them;
He [a]enlarges nations, and guides them.
24 He takes away the [b]understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth,
And (B)makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.
25 (C)They grope in the dark without light,
And He makes them (D)stagger like a drunken man.
