job 12:20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

job 12:20 "He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.

20. the trusty--rather, "those secure in their eloquence"; for example, the speakers in the gate (Isa 3:3) [BEZA].
understanding--literally, "taste," that is, insight or spiritual discernment, which experience gives the aged. The same Hebrew word is applied to Daniel's wisdom in interpretation (Da 2:14).

job 12:20 "He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.
