Isaiah 19:10-12

Lexham English Bible

¹⁰ And her weavers will be crushed;
    all the hired workers^[a] will be grieved of heart.
¹¹ Surely the princes of Zoan are foolish;
    the wise of the counselors of Pharaoh give senseless counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
    “I myself am a son of sages,
    a descendant^[b] of ancient kings”?
¹² Where are your sages then?
    Now, let them tell you,
    and let them know what Yahweh of hosts has planned against Egypt.
