Isaiah 19:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
12 Egypt, where are your wise men? They should learn what the Lord All-Powerful has planned for Egypt. They should be the ones to tell you what will happen.
13 The leaders of Zoan have been fooled. The leaders of Noph[a] have believed lies, so they lead Egypt the wrong way. 14 The Lord confused them, so they wander around and lead Egypt the wrong way. Everything they do is wrong. They are like drunks rolling in their vomit.

Isaiah 19:12-14
New International Version
12 Where are your wise men(A) now?
Let them show you and make known
what the Lord Almighty
has planned(B) against Egypt.
13 The officials of Zoan(C) have become fools,
the leaders of Memphis(D) are deceived;
the cornerstones(E) of her peoples
have led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has poured into them
a spirit of dizziness;(F)
they make Egypt stagger in all that she does,
as a drunkard staggers(G) around in his vomit.
