¹¹ The officials of Zoan^(A) are nothing but fools;
    the wise counselors^(B) of Pharaoh give senseless advice.^(C)
How can you say to Pharaoh,
    “I am one of the wise men,^(D)
    a disciple of the ancient kings”?

¹² Where are your wise men^(A) now?
    Let them show you and make known
what the Lord Almighty
    has planned^(B) against Egypt.

¹⁴ The Lord has poured into them
    a spirit of dizziness;^(A)
they make Egypt stagger in all that she does,
    as a drunkard staggers^(B) around in his vomit.
