Job 12:20

English Standard Version 2016

He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment of the elders.

See the chapter Copy

It is not the old who are wise, nor the aged who understand what is right.

Since you have closed their hearts to understanding, therefore you will not let them triumph.

He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth and makes them wander in a trackless waste.

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.

Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.

because God has made her forget wisdom and given her no share in understanding.
