¹¹ Surely the princes of Zoan are fools;
    the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
    “I am a son of the wise,
    a son of ancient kings?”

¹² Where are they? Where are your wise men?
    Let them tell you now, and let them understand
what the Lord of Hosts
    has purposed against Egypt.
¹³ The princes of Zoan have become fools;
    the princes of Memphis are deceived;
they have also seduced Egypt,
    even those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
