New Living Translation

Job 12:14-18 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. What he destroys cannot be rebuilt.When he puts someone in prison, there is no escape.

15. If he holds back the rain, the earth becomes a desert.If he releases the waters, they flood the earth.

16. Yes, strength and wisdom are his;deceivers and deceived are both in his power.

17. He leads counselors away, stripped of good judgment;wise judges become fools.

18. He removes the royal robe of kings.They are led away with ropes around their waist.
