Isaiah 19:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 The princes of Zoan are complete fools;(A)
Pharaoh’s wisest advisers give stupid advice!
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one[a] of the wise,
a student of eastern[b] kings”?
12 Where then are your wise men?
Let them tell you and reveal
what the Lord of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan have been fools;
the princes of Memphis are deceived.(B)
Her tribal chieftains have led Egypt astray.

King James Version
11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
