Job 12:20

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

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.

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

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.
