13 The princes of [a]Zoan have acted foolishly,
The princes of (A)Memphis are deluded;
Those who are the (B)cornerstone of her tribes
Have [b]led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has mixed within her a spirit of (C)distortion;
(D)They have led Egypt astray in all [c]that it does,
As a (E)drunken man [d]staggers in his vomit.
15 There will be no work for Egypt
(F)Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.
