Isaiah 19:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Pharaoh, where are your wise men now?
    Let them tell you
what the Lord who rules over all
    has planned against Egypt.
¹³ The officials of Zoan have become foolish.
    The leaders of Memphis have been lied to.
The most important leaders in Egypt
    have led its people astray.
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.
