“He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. weakeneth: or, looseth the girdle of the strong”
Job 12:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 12:21
God pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong. The verb 'shaphak' (pour) suggests abundant, overflowing contempt—not reluctant judgment but decisive humiliation of the proud. The loosened belt again signifies loss of authority and strength. Job's theology affirms God's active role in humbling the exalted, a theme that runs through Scripture from Hannah's prayer (1 Samuel 2) to Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1).
