Job 12:12-25 - Wisdom Comes From God
12 With aged men is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.
13 With [God] is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding. 14 Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again. He shuts up a man, and there can be no opening. 15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth. 16 With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his. 17 He leads counselors away stripped, and he makes judges fools. 18 He loosens the bond of kings, and he binds their loins with a belt. 19 He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty. 20 He removes the speech of the trustworthy, and takes away the understanding of the elders. 21 He pours contempt upon rulers, and weakens the strength of the strong. 22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death. 23 He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive. 24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. 25 They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.
