Job 12:16–25

16  With him is strength and swisdom:

The deceived and the deceiver are his.

17  He leadeth counsellers away tspoiled,

And umaketh the judges fools.

18  He xlooseth the bond of kings,

And girdeth their loins with a girdle.

19  He leadeth yprinces away tspoiled,

And overthroweth the mighty.

20  zHe removeth away †the speech of the trusty,

And ataketh away the understanding of the aged.

21  bHe poureth contempt upon princes,

And ||weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

22  cHe discovereth deep things out of darkness,

And bringeth out to light dthe shadow of death.

23  eHe increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them:

He enlargeth the nations, and †straiteneth them again.

24  zHe 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.

25  hThey grope in the dark without light,

And he maketh them to †stagger ilike a drunken man.
