Holy Scripture

Job 12:16

A church father on this verse
“With Him is strength and wisdom. A little above it had been said, With Him is wisdom and strength; but now it is said, With Him is strength and wisdom. For because Almighty God, when in the mystery of pitifulness He was made Man, first gave the lesson of mildness, and afterwards at the Judgment He shews what strength…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XI

In context

14If he should cast down, who will build up? If he should shut up against men, who shall open?

15If he should withhold the water, he will dry the earth: And if he should let it loose, he overthrows and destroys it.

— Job 12:16 —

17He leads counselors away captive, And maddens the judges of the earth.

18He seats kings upon thrones, And girds their loins with a girdle.
