¹² Where then are your ^(A)wise men?
    Let them tell you
    that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
¹³ The princes of ^(B)Zoan have become fools,
    and the princes of ^(C)Memphis are deluded;
those who are the ^(D)cornerstones of her tribes
    have made Egypt stagger.
¹⁴ The Lord has mingled within her ^(E)a spirit of confusion,
and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds,
    ^(F)as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
¹⁵ And there will be nothing for Egypt
    that ^(G)head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.
