Isaiah 19:13-15
The Voice
13 The elite, the nobles from the northern delta south to bustling Memphis,
have been overconfident, deluded fools.
These cornerstones of society have led Egypt in the wrong direction,
and Egypt pays the price.
14 The Eternal has mixed them up and confused them.
God has frustrated Egypt’s efforts in everything.
Weaving and sick like an everyday drunk.
15 There will be nothing left for Egypt to do.
Nobody—no head, no tail, no noble palm, no lowly reed—
will be able to help Egypt.
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)
