Isaiah 19:11 Context
9Moreouer they that worke in fine flaxe, and they that weaue net-works shall be confounded. 10And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluces and ponds for fish. 11¶ Surely the princes of Zoan are fooles, the counsell of the wise counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish: How say ye vnto Pharaoh, I am the sonne of the wise, the sonne of ancient kings? 12Where are they? Where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know, what the Lord of hosts hath purposed vpon Egypt. 13The princes of Zoan are become fooles, the princes of Noph are deceiued, they haue also seduced Egypt, euen they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

Surely the princes of Zoan [are] fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I [am] the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
- King James Version
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?"
