Job 12:18

English Standard Version 2016

He looses the bonds of kings and binds a waistcloth on their hips.

See the chapter Copy

He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuilt ruins for themselves,

He pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong.

None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps, not a waistband is loose, not a sandal strap broken;

Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
