8. The dayagim (fishermen) also shall mourn, and all they that cast hooks into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the mayim shall languish.
9. Moreover they that work in pishtan (flax), and they that weave fine linen, shall be in despair.
10. And its foundations shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sachir (wages) shall be agmei nefesh (grieved).
11. Surely the sarim of Tzoan are fools, the etzah (advice) of the wise counselors of Pharaoh is become senseless; how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the Ben Chachamim, the Ben Malchei Kedem?
12. Where are they? Where are thy chachamim? And let them tell thee now, and let them know what Hashem Tzva'os hath planned against Mitzrayim.
13. The sarim of Tzoan are become fools, the sarim of Noph are deceived; they have also led Mitzrayim astray, even they that are the mainstay of the tribes thereof.
