Isaiah 19:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ The leaders of Zoan are nothing but fools.
The wisest of Pharaoh’s counselors gives stupid advice.
How can you tell Pharaoh,
“I’m a descendant of wise men,
a descendant of ancient kings”?
¹² Where are your wise men now?
Let them tell you.
Let them explain what the Lord of Armies
is planning against Egypt.
¹³ The leaders of Zoan are acting foolishly.
The leaders of Memphis are led astray.
The leaders who are the cornerstones of its tribes mislead the Egyptians.
