Failure of Egyptian Wisdom
Isaiah 19:11-15
11
The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?”
12
Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what the LORD of Hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.
13
The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
14
The LORD has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15
Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
