Job 12:23-25
English Standard Version

23 He (A)makes nations great, and he destroys them;
    he enlarges nations, and (B)leads them away.
24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth
    and (C)makes them wander in a trackless waste.
25 They (D)grope in the dark without light,
    and he makes them (E)stagger like a drunken man.
