“He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.”
Job 12:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 12:18
God removes the authority of kings ('looseth the bond of kings') and binds them with chains around their waists as captives. This continues Job's theme of divine sovereignty over human rulers. The imagery reverses the typical scene—kings who bound others are themselves bound by God's decree. Reformed theology emphasizes God's authority even over kings and kingdoms, fulfilling Daniel's declaration that God 'removeth kings, and setteth up kings' (Daniel 2:21).
