13. The leaders of Zoan are acting foolishly.The leaders of Memphis are led astray.The leaders who are the cornerstones of its tribes mislead the Egyptians.
14. The Lord mixes up their minds.So they lead the Egyptians astraylike a drunk who staggers in his vomit.
15. No one—leaders or followers, important or unimportant—can do anything for Egypt.
16. At that time Egyptians will act like women. They will tremble and be terrified because the Lord of Armies will shake his fist at them.
17. The land of Judah will terrify the Egyptians. Whenever they are reminded of Judah, they will be terrified of it because of what the Lord of Armies is planning against it.
