Job 12:17

15 If He holds back the waters, they dry up, and if He releases them, they overwhelm the land.

16 True wisdom and power belong to Him. The deceived and the deceiver are His.

He leads counselors away barefoot and makes fools of judges.

18 He loosens the bonds placed by kings and fastens a belt around their waists.

19 He leads priests away barefoot and overthrows the established.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
