9. All the people who make cloth from flax will be sad,and those who weave linen will lose hope.
10. Those who weave cloth will be broken.All those who work for money will be sad.
11. The officers of the city of Zoan are fools;the wise men who advise the king of Egypt give wrong advice.How can you say to him, ‘I am wise’?How can you say, ‘I am from the old family of the kings’?
12. Egypt, where are your wise men?Let them show youwhat the Lord All-Powerful has planned for Egypt.
