8. And the fishermen will lament, And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
9. Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.
10. And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
11. The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?
12. Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the Lord of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.
