10. Those who weave cloth will be broken.All those who work for money will be sad.
11. The officers of the city of Zoan are fools;the wise men who advise the king of Egypt give wrong advice.How can you say to him, ‘I am wise’?How can you say, ‘I am from the old family of the kings’?
12. Egypt, where are your wise men?Let them show youwhat the Lord All-Powerful has planned for Egypt.
13. The officers of Zoan have been fooled;the leaders of Memphis have believed false things.So the leaders of Egyptlead that nation the wrong way.
14. The Lord has made the leaders confused.They have led Egypt to wander in the wrong ways,like drunk people stumbling in their own vomit.
15. There is nothing Egypt can do;no one there can help.
