Bible in Basic English
"He takes away the wisdom of the rulers of the earth, and sends them wandering in a waste where there is no way."
— Job 12:24, Bible in Basic English
“He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.”
He puts shame on chiefs, and takes away the power of the strong;
Uncovering deep things out of the dark, and making the deep shade bright;
Increasing nations, and sending destruction on them; making wide the lands of peoples, and then giving them up.
He takes away the wisdom of the rulers of the earth, and sends them wandering in a waste where there is no way.
They go feeling about in the dark without light, wandering without help like those overcome with wine.
