Job 12:12-25 - Wisdom Comes From God
12 In the Ancient, is wisdom, and in Length of Days, understanding:
13 With Him, are wisdom and strength, to Him, pertain counsel and understanding. 14 Lo! He pulleth down, and it cannot be built, He closeth up over a man, and it cannot be opened: 15 Lo! He holdeth back the waters, and they dry up, or sendeth them out, and they transform the earth: 16 With Him, is strength and effective wisdom, to Him, belong he that erreth, and he that causeth to err. 17 Who leadeth away counsellors as a spoil, and, judges, He befooleth: 18 The fetters of kings, He looseth, or hath bound a slave's waistcloth about their loins: 19 Who leadeth away priests as a spoil, and, men firmly seated, He overturneth: 20 Setting aside the speech of the trusty, and, the discernment of elders, He taketh away: 21 Pouring contempt upon nobles, and, the girdle of the mighty, hath He loosed: 22 Laying open deep things, out of darkness, and bringing out to light, the death-shade: 23 Who giveth greatness to nations, or destroyeth them, Who spreadeth out nations, or leadeth them into exile: 24 Who taketh away the sense of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and hath caused them to wander in a pathless waste: 25 They grope about in the dark, having no light, and He hath made them to reel, like a drunken man.
