Job 12:13-25

Thomson(i) 13 With him is wisdom and power; with him counsel and understanding. 14 If he demolish who can rebuild? If he shut against men, who can open? 15 If he withhold water he drieth the earth. And when he let it loose, he overthrew and destroyed it, 16 With him is strength and power; with him knowledge and understanding. 17 He hath led counsellors away captive. And confounded the judges of the earth. 18 It is he who settleth kings on thrones and girded their loins with a girdle; 19 who sendeth priests into captivity and overthrew the sovereigns of the earth; 20 who changeth the lips of liege men and knoweth the wisdom of elders; 21 who poureth contempt on princes and hath healed them who were low; 22 who revealeth deep things from darkness; and hath brought to light the shades of death; 23 who leadeth nations into error and destroyeth them; who prostrateth nations and conducteth them; 24 who changeth the hearts of the rulers of a land and hath caused them to wander in a way which they knew not: 25 That they might grope in darkness without light; and that they might stagger like a drunken man.
