Job 12:20
Compare all
18 He loosens the bonds of kings,
And binds their waist with a belt.
19 He leads1 princes away plundered,
And overthrows the mighty. 
20 aHe deprives the trusted ones of speech,
And takes away the discernment of the elders. 
21 aHe pours contempt on princes,
And1 disarms the mighty. 
22 He auncovers deep things out of darkness,
And brings the shadow of death to light. 
23 aHe1 makes nations great, and destroys them;
He enlarges nations, and guides them. 
24 He takes away the1 understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth,
And amakes them wander in a pathless wilderness. 
25 aThey grope in the dark without light,
And He makes them bstagger like a drunken man.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Job 12:19   Job 12:21 >>


Job 12:20

The speech - By taking away or restraining the gift of utterance from them. Or, by taking away their understanding which should direct their speech. Trusty - Of those wise and experienced counsellors, that were trusted by the greatest princes.
