“And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.”
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards—the breakdown of Egyptian wisdom and leadership, with the people turning to false spiritual resources (idolatry and divination). The seeking of counsel from demons and wizards suggests desperation and spiritual confusion. This verse indicates that judgment includes the failure of human wisdom.
