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.
16. On that day, Egypt will be like women, and will tremble and be afraid before the waving hand of Yahweh of hosts that he is waving against it.
