9 And the workers of combed flax will be ashamed, and those who weave white linen.
10 And her weavers will be crushed; all the hired workers will be grieved of heart.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan are foolish; the wise of the counselors of Pharaoh give senseless counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I myself am a son of sages, a descendant of ancient kings”?
12 Where are your sages then? Now, let them tell you, and let them know what Yahweh of hosts has planned against Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan have become foolish; the princes of Memphis are deceived; the leaders of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of confusion into her midst, and they have caused Egypt to stagger in all of its doings, as when a drunkard staggers in his vomit.
15 And there will be nothing for Egypt to do, head or tail, palm branch or reed.
