Job 12:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ He removes the authority of priests and leads them away.
    He removes from their positions
    officials who have been in control for a long time.
²⁰ He shuts the mouths of trusted advisers.
    He takes away the understanding of elders.
²¹ He looks down on proud leaders.
    He takes away the strength of those who are mighty.
