Job 12:23 in Context — Job 12

21 Ele derrama menosprezo sobre os príncipes, e afrouxa o cinto dos fortes.

22 Ele revela as profundezas das trevas, e traz a sombra de morte à luz.

23 Ele multiplica as nações, e ele as destrói; ele dispersa as nações, e as reúne.

24 Ele tira o entendimento dos líderes do povo da terra, e os faz vaguear pelos desertos, sem caminho.

25 Nas trevas andam apalpando, sem terem luz; e os faz cambalear como a bêbados.
