He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

Verse 24 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 nimmt weg den Mut der Obersten des Volkes im Lande und macht sie irre auf einem Umwege, da kein Weg ist,
Él quita el seso de las cabezas del pueblo de la tierra, Y háceles que se pierdan vagueando sin camino:
Priva de entendimiento a los jefes de los pueblos de la tierra y los hace vagar por un desierto sin caminos.
Il enlève l'intelligence aux chefs des peuples, Il les fait errer dans les déserts sans chemin;
Egli toglie il senno a’ capi de’ popoli della terra, E li fa andar vagando per luoghi deserti, ove non ha via alcuna.
Tira o entendimento aos chefes dos povos da terra, e os faz vaguear pelos desertos, sem caminho.
他將地上百姓中領袖的聰明奪去, 使他們迷失在荒涼無路之地。
