‏ Isaiah 19:11-12

11 The princes of ^aZoan are utterly foolish;
the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the wise,
a son of ancient kings”?
12 Where then are your ^bwise men?
Let them tell you
that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
