NASB
"Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt."
— Isaiah 19:12, NASB
“Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.”
“Where then are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now; and let them know what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt. ”
“Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.”
“But where, oh where, are your wise men? Let them tell you, let them find out what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has planned for Egypt.”
“Where are now thy wise men? let them tell thee, and shew what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.”
“Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.”
“Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.”
Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.
And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?
Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.
The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, The princes of Memphis are deluded; Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes Have led Egypt astray.
The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of distortion; They have led Egypt astray in all that it does, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
There will be no work for Egypt Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.
