Isaiah 19:11

Oracle Of Judgment On Egypt

¹⁰ And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages are afflicted in soul. ¹¹ Only, fools are the princes of Zoan, The counsel of the wise ones of the counsellors of Pharaoh hath become brutish. How say ye unto Pharaoh, 'A son of the wise am I, a son of kings of antiquity?' ¹² Where are they now, thy wise ones? Yea, let them tell to thee, I pray thee, And they know what Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled against Egypt!
