How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”? 12 Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt. 13 The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray. 14 The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.

Your feet sank into the mire, and they deserted you.’
