Isaiah 19:11

Oracle Of Judgment On Egypt

¹⁰ And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart. ¹¹ The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings? ¹² Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.
