Isaiah 19:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ The workers^[a] in combed flax
    and the weavers of white linen
        will be in despair.
¹⁰ Egypt’s^[b] workers in cloth^[c] will be crushed,
    and all who work for wages will be sick at heart.”

¹¹ Zoan’s princes are nothing but fools;
    the wisest advisors of Pharaoh give stupid advice.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
    “I’m a descendant of wise men,
        a descendant of ancient kings”?
