Job 12:20

American Standard Version 2015

He removeth the speech of the trusty,\par\tab And taketh away the understanding of the elders.

See the chapter Copy

It is not the great that are wise,\par\tab Nor the aged that understand justice.

For thou hast hid their heart from understanding:\par\tab Therefore shalt thou not exalt {\i them}.

He taketh away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth,\par\tab And causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah;\par\tab But they that deal truly are his delight.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever;\par\tab But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

The lips of the righteous feed many;\par\tab But the foolish die for lack of understanding.

Because God hath deprived her of wisdom,\par\tab Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
