Job 12:23 in Context — Job 12
21 El derrama menosprecio sobre los príncipes, y enflaquece la fuerza de los esforzados.
22 El descubre las profundidades de las tinieblas, y saca á luz la sombra de muerte.
23 El multiplica las gentes, y él las destruye: él esparce las gentes, y las torna á recoger.
24 El quita el seso de las cabezas del pueblo de la tierra, y háceles que se pierdan vagueando sin camino:
25 Van á tientas como en tinieblas y sin luz, y los hace errar como borrachos.
