Isaiah 19:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Where now are your sages?
    Let them tell you and make known
    what the Lord of hosts has planned against Egypt.
¹³ The princes of Zoan have become fools,
    and the princes of Memphis are deluded;
those who are the cornerstones of its tribes
    have led Egypt astray.
¹⁴ The Lord has poured into them^[a]
    a spirit of confusion;
and they have made Egypt stagger in all its doings
    as a drunkard staggers around in vomit.
