Job 12:18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

He looses the sash of kings and binds a waistcloth on their loins.

See the chapter Copy

He changes times and seasons, deposes 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 child of your serving girl. You have loosed my bonds.

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

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

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

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

None of them is weary; none stumbles; none slumbers or sleeps; not a loincloth is loose; not a sandal strap broken;

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