Isaiah 19:11-13

English Standard Version

¹¹ The princes of ^(A)Zoan are utterly foolish;
    the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
    “I am a son of the wise,
    a son of ancient kings”?
¹² Where then are your ^(B)wise men?
    Let them tell you
    that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
¹³ The princes of ^(C)Zoan have become fools,
    and the princes of ^(D)Memphis are deluded;
those who are the ^(E)cornerstones of her tribes
    have made Egypt stagger.
