Job 12:18-25

18 He removes authority from kings, then binds them up [as prisoners].
19 He leads cohanim away captive and overthrows those long in power.
20 Those who are trusted he deprives of speech, and he removes the discernment of the aged.
21 He pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong.
22 He discloses the deepest recesses of darkness and brings light into shadows dark as death.
23 He makes nations great and destroys them; he enlarges nations, then leads them away.
24 He removes understanding from a country's leaders and makes them wander in trackless deserts.
25 They grope in unlit darkness; he makes them stagger like drunks.
