Job 12:24 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 12:24
God takes away the understanding of leaders and makes them wander in pathless wastes. The Hebrew 'tou'eh' (wander/stagger) suggests aimless confusion—leaders without direction or purpose. God actively removes wisdom from those who should guide, causing them to lead people astray. This explains political and religious confusion—not mere human failure, but divine judgment removing understanding from the proud.
