Isaiah 19:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ The leaders of the city of Zoan^[a] are fools. Pharaoh’s “wise advisors” give bad advice. They say they are wise. They say they are from the old family of the kings, but they are not as smart as they think. ¹² Egypt, where are your wise men? They should learn what the Lord All-Powerful has planned for Egypt. They should be the ones to tell you what will happen.

¹³ The leaders of Zoan have been fooled. The leaders of Noph^[b] have believed lies, so they lead Egypt the wrong way.
