Job 12:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²³ He makes nations great, then destroys them;
    he enlarges nations, then leads them away.^(A)
24 He strips understanding from the leaders^[a] of the earth
    and makes them wander in a pathless waste.^(B)
25 They grope in the dark without light;
    he makes them stagger like a drunkard.^(C)
