Job 12,24

22 Han avslører dype ting fra mørket
og bringer det skjulte mørket frem i lyset.

23 Han gjør nasjoner store, så ødelegger Han dem;
Han utvider nasjoner, så sprer Han dem.

Han fratar jordens ledere deres fornuft
og får dem til å vandre i et sporløst ødeland.

25 De famler i mørket uten lys;
Han får dem til å vakle som drankere.

Read the whole chapter

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
