Isaiah 19:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Where are now the wise men, that they may tell thee, or may know what the Lord of hosts hath determined against Egypt?
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools: the princes of [a]Noph are deceived, they have deceived Egypt, even the [b]corners of the tribes thereof.
14 The Lord hath mingled among them the spirits [c]of errors: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man erreth in his 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.
