Job 12:13–25

¹³ⁿWith him is wisdom and strength,

He hath counsel and ^ounderstanding.

¹⁴Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again:

He ^pshutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

¹⁵Behold, he ^qwithholdeth the waters, and they dry up:

Also ^rhe sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

¹⁶With him is strength and ^swisdom:

The deceived and the deceiver are his.

¹⁷He leadeth counsellers away ^tspoiled,

And ^umaketh the judges fools.

¹⁸He ^xlooseth the bond of kings,

And girdeth their loins with a girdle.

¹⁹He leadeth ^yprinces away ^tspoiled,

And overthroweth the mighty.

^20zHe removeth away the speech of the trusty,

And ^ataketh away the understanding of the aged.

^21bHe poureth contempt upon princes,

And weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

^22cHe discovereth deep things out of darkness,

And bringeth out to light ^dthe shadow of death.

^23eHe increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them:

He enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.

^24zHe taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth,

And ^fcauseth them to wander in ^ga wilderness where there is no way.

^25hThey grope in the dark without light,

And he maketh them to stagger ⁱlike a drunken man.
