Isaiah 19:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ Egypt’s^[a] workers in cloth^[b] will be crushed,
    and all who work for wages will be sick at heart.”

¹¹ Zoan’s princes are nothing but fools;
    the wisest advisors of Pharaoh give stupid advice.
How can you say to 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 make known
    what the Lord^[c] has planned against Egypt.
