Isaias

8 And the fishers shall sigh, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.

9 And they that work combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be ashamed.

10 And her pillars shall be broken in pieces ; all that work for hire (shall be) grieved in soul.

11 Merely fools are the princes of Zoanf as for the wise counsellors of Pharaoh, counsel is become brutish; how can ye say unto Pharaoh, I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings?

12 Where, then, are thy wise men? (and) let them declare now unto thee, and let them know, what the Lord of Hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

13 The princes of Zoan are befooled, the princes of Noph are deceived: they have led Egypt astray, the cornerstone of her tribes.

14 The Lord hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have led Egypt astray in all his work, as a drunkard strays in his vomit.
