Isaiah 19:9-11

Revised Standard Version

⁹The workers in combed flax will be in despair,
and the weavers of white cotton.
¹⁰Those who are the pillars of the land will be crushed,
and all who work for hire will be grieved.

¹¹The princes of Zo′an are utterly foolish;
    the wise counselors of Pharoah give stupid counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
    “I am a son of the wise,
    a son of ancient kings”?
