Isaiah 19:12-14
New King James Version
12 (A)Where are they?
Where are your wise men?
Let them tell you now,
And let them know what the Lord of hosts has (B)purposed against Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools;
(C)The princes of [a]Noph are deceived;
They have also [b]deluded Egypt,
Those who are the [c]mainstay of its tribes.
14 The Lord has mingled (D)a perverse spirit in her midst;
And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work,
As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
