Isaiah 19:13-15
New International Reader's Version
13 The officials of Zoan have become foolish.
The leaders of Memphis have been lied to.
The most important leaders in Egypt
have led its people astray.
14 The Lord has given them
a spirit that makes them feel dizzy.
They make Egypt unsteady in everything it does.
Egypt is like a person who drinks too much.
He throws up and then walks around in the mess he’s made.
15 No one in Egypt can do anything to help them.
Its elders and important leaders can’t help them.
Its prophets and priests can’t do anything.
Those who rule over others can’t help.
And those who bow down to them can’t help either.
Isaiah 19:13-15
New International Version
13 The officials of Zoan(A) have become fools,
the leaders of Memphis(B) are deceived;
the cornerstones(C) of her peoples
have led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has poured into them
a spirit of dizziness;(D)
they make Egypt stagger in all that she does,
as a drunkard staggers(E) around in his vomit.
15 There is nothing Egypt can do—
head or tail, palm branch or reed.(F)
