10. They will be in despair,and all the workers will be sick at heart.
11. What fools are the officials of Zoan!Their best counsel to the king of Egypt is stupid and wrong.Will they still boast to Pharaoh of their wisdom?Will they dare brag about all their wise ancestors?
12. Where are your wise counselors, Pharaoh?Let them tell you what God plans,what the lord of Heaven’s Armies is going to do to Egypt.
13. The officials of Zoan are fools,and the officials of Memphis are deluded.The leaders of the peoplehave led Egypt astray.
