Isaiah 19:12 in Context — Isaiah 19

10 Les soutiens du pays seront dans l’abattement, Tous les mercenaires auront l’âme attristée.

11 Les princes de Tsoan ne sont que des insensés, Les sages conseillers de Pharaon forment un conseil stupide. Comment osez-vous dire à Pharaon: Je suis fils des sages, fils des anciens rois?

12 Où sont-ils donc tes sages? Qu’ils te fassent des révélations, Et qu’on apprenne ce que l’Éternel des armées a résolu contre l’Égypte.

13 Les princes de Tsoan sont fous, Les princes de Noph sont dans l’illusion, Les chefs des tribus égarent l’Égypte;

14 L’Éternel a répandu au milieu d’elle un esprit de vertige, Pour qu’ils fassent chanceler les Égyptiens dans tous leurs actes, Comme un homme ivre chancelle en vomissant.
