He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 12 of Job. Job describes God as possessing absolute wisdom and power, able to overthrow and raise nations, undo plans, and alter the conditions of rulers and peoples. Divine sovereignty is not in dispute; what remains unresolved is how that sovereignty should be understood when it produces or permits circumstances that appear unjust.

Er führt die Klugen wie einen Raub und macht die Richter toll.
Él hace andar a los consejeros desnudos de consejo, Y hace enloquecer a los jueces.
Se lleva despojados a los consejeros y vuelve necios a los jueces.
Il emmène captifs les conseillers; Il trouble la raison des juges.
Egli ne mena i consiglieri spogliati, E fa impazzare i giudici.
Aos conselheiros leva despojados, e aos juízes faz desvairar.
他把謀士剝衣擄去, 使審判官變為愚妄。
