What does Job 12:9-25 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soulb of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouthc taste his meat?
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth upd a man, and there can be no opening.
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
He removeth away the speeche of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakenethf the strength of the mighty.
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straitenethg them again.
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to staggerh like a drunken man.
