He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.

Verse 18 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 löst auf der Könige Zwang und bindet mit einem Gurt ihre Lenden.
Él suelta la atadura de los tiranos, Y ata el cinto a sus lomos.
Desata las cadenas de los reyes y les ata una cuerda a la cintura.
Il délie la ceinture des rois, Il met une corde autour de leurs reins.
Egli scioglie il legame dei re, E stringe la cinghia sopra i lor propri lombi.
Solta a autoridade dos reis, e ata o cinto aos seus lombos.
他解除君王的權勢 , 用帶子捆住他們的腰。
