Job12:21
21. Psa 107:40 quotes, in its first clause, this verse and, in its second, Job 12:24.
weakeneth the strength--literally, "looseth the girdle"; Orientals wear flowing garments; when active strength is to be put forth, they gird up their garments with a girdle. Hence here--"He destroyeth their power" in the eyes of the people.
