Isaiah 19:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The Lord has given them
    a spirit that makes them feel dizzy.
They make Egypt unsteady in everything it does.
    Egypt is like a person who drinks too much.
    He throws up and then walks around in the mess he’s made.
¹⁵ No one in Egypt can do anything to help them.
    Its elders and important leaders can’t help them.
Its prophets and priests can’t do anything.
    Those who rule over others can’t help.
    And those who bow down to them can’t help either.
