Job 12:20-23

ISV(i) 20 He keeps reliable advisors from speaking, and removes discernment from elders. 21 He pours contempt on nobles and embarrasses the mighty. 22 He uncovers the hidden dimensions from darkness, bringing what is in deep shadow to light. 23 He makes nations great, and then destroys them; he enlarges nations, but then sends them away to captivity.
