“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?”
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; the counsel of the wise counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish; how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings—the condemnation of Egyptian wisdom and the pretensions of the rulers and wise men. The suggestion that the counsel has become brutish indicates the failure of human wisdom. This verse diagnoses the intellectual and spiritual corruption of Egypt's leadership.
