Job 12:16 Context
14Behold, he breaketh downe, and it cannot be built againe: hee shutteth vp a man, and there can be no opening. 15Behold, hee withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: also hee sendeth them out, and they ouerturne the earth. 16With him is strength & wisedome: the deceiued, and the deceiuer, are his. 17He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the Iudges fooles. 18He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loines with a girdle.

Wesley's Notes for Job 12:16
12:16 With him - The same thing he had said before, ver.#13|, but he repeats it here to prepare the way for the following events, which are eminent instances, both of his power and wisdom. Are his - Wholly subject to his disposal. He governs the deceiver and sets bounds to his deceits, how far they shall extend; he also over - rules all this to his own glory, and the accomplishment of his righteous designs of trying the good, and punishing wicked men, by giving them up to believe lies. Yet God is not the author of any error or sin, but only the wise and holy governor of it.
