Isaiah 19:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ The officials of Tanis have become fools;
    the princes of Memphis are deluded;
    the tribal chiefs have led Egypt astray.
¹⁴     The Lord has poured into them a spirit of confusion.
    They will make Egypt stumble in everything it does,
    just as a drunk stumbles in his vomit.
¹⁵ Neither head nor tail, palm branch nor reed
    will be able to do anything for Egypt.
