Job 12:18-20
International Children’s Bible

18 God takes the royal belt off of kings.
    And he dresses them like prisoners with only a cloth around their waist.
19 He leads priests away as captives.
    He destroys the power of those who have been powerful.
20 God makes trusted people be silent.
    And he takes away the wisdom of elders.
