“The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.”
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof—the particular condemnation of the princes of Egyptian cities for their deception of the people. The identification as the stay (support) of the tribes suggests they have claimed a stabilizing role while actually misleading the people. This verse identifies false leadership as a cause of national deception.
