New Testament

Job 12:17-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. He leads advisors away barefoot;makes madmen of judges;

18. unties the belt of kings,binds a garment around their loins;

19. leads priests away barefoot;overthrows the well-established;

20. silences the talk of trusted people;takes away elders’ discernment;

21. pours contempt on royalty;loosens the belt of the strong;

22. discloses deep secrets of darkness,makes utter darkness enter the light;

23. makes nations prominent and destroys them,expands nations and leads them astray;

24. takes away the power to think from earth’s leaders,making them wander in untraveled wastelands.

25. They feel their way in the dark without light;he makes them stumble like drunks.
