Job 12:20-24

“He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.

“He pours contempt on nobles, And loosens the belt of the strong.

“He reveals mysteries from the darkness, And brings the deep darkness into light.

“He makes the nations great, then destroys them; He enlarges the nations, then leads them away.

“He deprives the leaders of the earth’s people of intelligence And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland.
