Isaiah 19:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ Moreover, they who work with combed flax and they who weave white [cotton] cloth will be confounded and in despair.

¹⁰ [Those who are] the pillars and foundations of Egypt will be crushed, and all those who work for hire or who build dams will be grieved.

¹¹ The princes of Zoan [ancient capital of the Pharaohs] are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become witless (stupid). How can you say to Pharaoh, I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings?
