He leadeth counsellors away stripped, And judges maketh he fools.Young's Literal Translation
Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He maketh foolish.Job 12:17 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleHe leadeth counsellors away spoiled - The events of war are also in his hand. It is he who gives victory; through him even the counsellors - the great men and chief men, are often led into captivity, and found among the spoils. And maketh the judges fools - He infatuates the judges. Does this refer to the foolish conduct of some of the Israelitish judges, such as Samson?
