Isaiah 19:11 - The Message

The princes of Zoan are fools,
   the advisors of Pharaoh stupid.
How could any of you dare tell Pharaoh,
   "Trust me: I’m wise. I know what’s going on.
   Why, I’m descended from the old wisdom of Egypt"?
There’s not a wise man or woman left in the country.
   If there were, one of them would tell you
   what God-of-the-Angel-Armies has in mind for Egypt.
As it is, the princes of Zoan are all fools
   and the princes of Memphis, dunces.
The honored pillars of your society
   have led Egypt into detours and dead ends.
God has scrambled their brains,
   Egypt’s become a falling-down-in-his-own-vomit drunk.
Egypt’s hopeless, past helping,
   a senile, doddering old fool.
