Isaiah 19:11

Oracle Of Judgment On Egypt

¹⁰ And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul. ¹¹ They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: their counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? ¹² Where are they then, thy wise men? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
