Job 12:13-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
13'Wisdom and might are with Him; Advice and understanding belong to Him. 14Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He imprisons a person, and there is no release. 15Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up; And He sends them out, and they inundate the earth. 16Strength and sound wisdom are with Him. One who goes astray and one who leads astray belong to Him. 17He makes advisers walk barefoot And makes fools of judges.King James Version
Chapter 12
13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. 14Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. 15Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. 16With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. 17He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 12
13Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are his. 14Whatever he tears down cannot be rebuilt; whoever he imprisons cannot be released. 15When he withholds water, everything dries up, and when he releases it, it destroys the land. 16True wisdom and power belong to him. The deceived and the deceiver are his. 17He leads counselors away barefoot and makes judges go mad.New Living Translation
Chapter 12
13'But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are his. 14What he destroys cannot be rebuilt. When he puts someone in prison, there is no escape. 15If he holds back the rain, the earth becomes a desert. If he releases the waters, they flood the earth. 16Yes, strength and wisdom are his; deceivers and deceived are both in his power. 17He leads counselors away, stripped of good judgment; wise judges become fools.English Standard Version
Chapter 12
13“With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding. 14If he tears down, none can rebuild; if he shuts a man in, none can open. 15If he withholds the waters, they dry up; if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land. 16With him are strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his. 17He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools.New International Version
Chapter 12
13To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. 14What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; those he imprisons cannot be released. 15If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land. 16To him belong strength and insight; both deceived and deceiver are his. 17He leads rulers away stripped and makes fools of judges.New King James Version
