"He leads advisors to a foolish end and judges to stupidity. "
— Job 12:17, Catholic Public Domain Version
“He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.”
“He leadeth counsellors away stripped, And judges maketh he fools. ”
“He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.”
“He leads counselors away stripped and makes judges into fools.”
“He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.”
“He takes away the wisdom of the wise guides, and makes judges foolish;”
“He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.”
If he tears down, there is no one who can build up; if he encloses a man, there is no one who can open.
If he restrains the waters, everything will dry up; and if he sends them forth, they will subdue the land.
With him is strength and wisdom; he knows both the deceiver and he who is deceived.
He leads advisors to a foolish end and judges to stupidity.
He removes the belt of kings and encircles their waist with a rope.
He leads away priests in dishonor and displaces nobles,
altering the lips of those who speak the truth and sweeping away the teaching of the aged.
