Job 12:17

17 He takes away the wisdom of rulers and makes leaders act like fools.

Job 12:17 In-Context

15 Drought comes when God withholds rain; floods come when he turns water loose.
16 God is strong and always victorious; both deceived and deceiver are in his power.
17 He takes away the wisdom of rulers and makes leaders act like fools.
18 He dethrones kings and makes them prisoners;
19 he humbles priests and men of power.
