He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
Job 12:19 stands within Job's reply to Zophar's argument, in which Job appeals to God. It declares that God has power over rulers and warriors, leading princes away spoiled as captives and overthrowing the mighty warriors and rulers, even the strongest fighters. This belongs to the wider truth taught by its context that God governs human affairs and the rise and fall of nations. It therefore assures that God cares for his people and will deliver them, since he can bring even princes and mighty rulers low.
