Job 12:20-24 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

20. He silences the trusted adviser,takes discretion from the elders.

21. He pours shame on nobles,the waistband of the strong he loosens.

22. He uncovers deep things from the darkness,brings the gloom into the light.

23. He makes nations great and destroys them,spreads peoples abroad and abandons them.

24. He takes understanding from the leaders of the land,makes them wander in a pathless desert.
