Job 12:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹ He pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong [disabling them, bringing low the pride of the learned].

²² He uncovers deep things out of darkness and brings into light black gloom and the shadow of death.

²³ He makes nations great, and He destroys them; He enlarges nations [and then straitens and shrinks them again], and leads them [away captive].
