Isaiah 19:11-16 The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools. The wise counselors of Pharaoh give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh: "I am one of the wise men, a disciple of the ancient kings?"

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools. The wise counselors of Pharaoh give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh: "I am one of the wise men, a disciple of the ancient kings?" ¹² Where are your wise men now? Let them show you and make known what the LORD Almighty has purposed (planned) (resolved) against Egypt. ¹³ The officials of Zoan have become fools. The leaders of Memphis (Noph) are deceived. The cornerstones of her peoples have led Egypt astray. ¹⁴ the LORD has poured into them a spirit of dizziness. They make Egypt stagger in all that she does, as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit. ¹⁵ There is nothing Egypt can do head or tail, palm branch or reed. ¹⁶ In that day the Egyptians will be like women and they will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD Almighty, which he shakes over them.
