9Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, shall be confounded.
10The pillars [of Egypt] shall be broken in pieces; all those who work for hire [shall be] grieved in soul.
11The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say you to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12Where then are your wise men? and let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.
13The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the corner-stone of her tribes.
14Yahweh has mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work of it, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
