Job 12:20

Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away.

The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.

Turning aside the heart Of the heads of the people of the land, And he causeth them to wander In vacancy -- no way!

For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:

The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.

The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment -- a tongue of falsehood.

An abomination to Jehovah are lying lips, And stedfast doers are his delight.

For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.

The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment -- a tongue of falsehood.

Turning aside the heart Of the heads of the people of the land, And he causeth them to wander In vacancy -- no way!

For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.

The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
