Isaiah 19:11-16

11Surely the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are foolsH191, the counselH6098 of the wiseH2450 counsellorsH3289 of PharaohH6547 is become brutishH1197: how sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428? 12WhereH335 are they? whereH645 are thy wiseH2450 men? and let them tellH5046 thee now, and let them knowH3045 what YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 hath purposedH3289 upon EgyptH4714. 13The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are become foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of NophH5297 are deceivedH5377; they have also seducedH8582 EgyptH4714, even they that are the stayH6438 of the tribesH7626 thereof.1 14YhwhH3068 hath mingledH4537 a perverseH5773 spiritH7307 in the midstH7130 thereof: and they have caused EgyptH4714 to errH8582 in every workH4639 thereof, as a drunkenH7910 man staggerethH8582 in his vomitH6892.2 15Neither shall there be any workH4639 for EgyptH4714, which the headH7218 or tailH2180, branchH3712 or rushH100, may doH6213. 16In that dayH3117 shall EgyptH4714 be like unto womenH802: and it shall be afraidH2729 and fearH6342 becauseH6440 of the shakingH8573 of the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, which he shakethH5130 over it.
