He makes counselors walk barefoot...

Job 12:17

"He makes counselors walk barefoot And makes fools of judges. (NAS)

He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges. (NKJV)

He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools. (ESV)

Consider this commentary by John Trapp:

Ver. 17. He leadeth counsellors away spoiled] viz. Of wit, wealth, and honour. This should be a warning to them, not to take ill causes in hand, not to call evil good and good evil, not to justify the wicked for a reward, and to take away the righteousness of the righteous from him; not to bolster out a bad cause, and to outface a good, lest if they improve their wits and parts to so evil an end, God make them as despicable as before they were honourable. They may see what the Lord did to Ahithophel, that oracle of his time; to Pharaoh’s counsellors, #Isa 9:11,12; to Pharaoh himself, #Ex 1:10 with #Pr 28:15.

And he maketh the judges fools] Broughton rendereth the verse thus, He brings counsellors to badness, and judges to stark madness. He infatuateth them, not by infusing folly into them, anymore than the sun, when he shineth not in our horizon, causeth darkness in the air, which of itself and of its own nature is dark. But when God withholdeth that light of wisdom which he had imparted to a man, his inbred darkness must needs show itself. More than this, it sometimes cometh to pass, that when God delivereth a man up for his sins to a reprobate and injudicious mind, he is thenceforth deprived sometimes of natural wisdom and common sense, that the divine revenge may be the more apparent.

I truly believe the more I read Holy Scripture -as I believe it is applied to today- that this man Barack Obama is certainly going to be judged by God in due season if there is no repentance of his will to use the power granted him on an evil course. I read this Scripture from Isaiah chapter 3 and believe there is relevant truth here as well:

1 ¶ For behold, the Lord GOD of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread And the whole supply of water;
2 The mighty man and the warrior, The judge and the prophet, The diviner and the elder,
3 The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the expert artisan, And the skillful enchanter.
4 And I will make mere lads their princes, And capricious children will rule over them,
5 And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will storm against the elder And the inferior against the honorable. (NAS)

God can and does as He will make life difficult for a nation turned away from Him. America is seeing this happen to her now. And I know about half (maybe more) of America has thought just before the elections that Obama is mature but I have to say he fits with the "capricious children" as Isaiah saw it.

And what is the definition of "capricious"? ...tending to make sudden unexpected changes

As we heard from Barack throughout his campaign "change" was the buzz word. And a constant chameleon is ready to be sworn into the office of the President of what was once -before all this horrible mess the leftist media and ungodly liberals have promoted- considered a great nation. Of course the balance to the truth that the leftist media and the ungodly and godless liberals have worked hard to undermine the integrity of this country is that we Christians sat back and let it happen. Prayer is vital now as we do not wrestle against flesh and blood (Obama and his human cohorts) but we do spiritually fight against the controlling and blinding spirits behind them.

This is where we need to be and stay as it is stated in Ephesians chapter 6...

10 ¶ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
15 and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;
16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,... (NAS)
