"He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools." Job's vision of divine power now specifically targets human authority and wisdom—counselors, judges, authorities are stripped and fooled by God. This verse dismantles the friends' appeal to traditional wisdom and authority. Their arguments, derived from the counsel of elders and the judgments of the wise, are precisely the sort of human wisdom that God strips bare.
