Job 12:18
16 True wisdom and power belong to Him. The deceived and the deceiver are His.
17 He leads counselors away barefoot and makes fools of judges.
He loosens the bonds placed by kings and fastens a belt around their waists.
19 He leads priests away barefoot and overthrows the established.
20 He deprives the trusted of speech and takes away the discernment of elders.
