12. Where are they? Where are your wise men?Let them tell you now, and let them understandwhat the Lord of Hostshas purposed against Egypt.
13. The princes of Zoan have become fools;the princes of Memphis are deceived;they have also seduced Egypt,even those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
14. The Lord has mingleda perverse spirit in her;so they have caused Egypt to err in her every work,as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15. Nor shall there be any work for Egypt,which its head or tail, its branch or bulrush, may do.
16. In that day Egypt shall become like women. And it shall be afraid and be in dread because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of Hosts which He is about to shake over it.
17. The land of Judah shall become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom it is mentioned shall be in dread of it, because of the counsel of the Lord of Hosts which He has determined against it.
