¹¹ The officials of ^[a](A)Zoan are mere fools;
The advice of Pharaoh’s wisest advisers has become ^[b]stupid.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the ^(B)wise, a son of ancient kings”?
¹² Well then, where are your wise men?
Please let them tell you,
And let them ^[c]understand what the Lord of armies
Has ^(C)planned against Egypt.
¹³ The officials of ^[d]Zoan have turned out to be fools,
The officials of ^(D)Memphis are deluded;
Those who are the ^(E)cornerstone of her tribes
Have ^[e]led Egypt astray.
