Job12:17
17. He leadeth Counsellors away spoiled , and maketh the Judges Fools
The wise Counsellors or Statesmen, by whom the affairs of Kings and Kingdoms are ordered, he leadeth away as Captives in triumph, being s[illegible: 1+ letters]oiled either of that Wisdom which they had, or seemed or pretended to have; or of that Power and dignity which they had enjoyed.
Partly by discovering their Folly; and partly by infatuating their Minds and turning their own Counsels to their ruine: Of which see 2 Sam. 15. 31. & 17. 14, 23. Isa. 19. 11. 1 Cor. 1. 19.
