And they went up by the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

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?

The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes.

For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes.

And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments upon No.
