(A)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will (B)divide the spoil;
My [a]desire shall be [b]gratified against them;
I will draw out my sword, my hand will [c]destroy them.’
10 (C)You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;
(D)They sank like lead in the [d]mighty waters.

10 Ben-hadad sent to him and said, “May (A)the gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria will suffice for handfuls for all the people who [a]follow me.” 11 Then the king of Israel replied, “Tell him, ‘(B)Let not him who girds on his armor boast like him who takes it off.’”

  1. 1 Kings 20:10 Lit are at my feet

11 The princes of [a](A)Zoan are mere fools;
The advice of Pharaoh’s wisest advisers has become [b]stupid.
How can you men say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the (B)wise, a son of ancient kings”?
12 Well then, where are your wise men?
Please let them tell you,
And let them [c]understand what the Lord of hosts
Has (C)purposed against Egypt.
13 The princes of [d]Zoan have acted foolishly,
The princes of (D)Memphis are deluded;
Those who are the (E)cornerstone of her tribes
Have [e]led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has mixed within her a spirit of (F)distortion;
(G)They have led Egypt astray in all [f]that it does,
As a (H)drunken man [g]staggers in his vomit.
15 There will be no work for Egypt
(I)Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.

16 In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in (J)dread because of the (K)waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.
