Isaiah 19:11

Oracle Of Judgment On Egypt

¹⁰ And the pillars of Egypt'shall be broken in pieces; all they that work for hire'shall be grieved in soul. ¹¹ The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? ¹² Where then are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now; and let them know what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt.
