An Oracle Concerning Egypt

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:1 -

All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:12 -

Well then, where are your wise men?

Please let them tell you,

And let them [fn]understand what Yahweh of hosts

Has counseled against Egypt.

The princes of Memphis are deluded;

They have led Egypt astray in all [fn]that it does,

As a drunken man [fn]strays into his vomit.
