19:12 But where, oh where, are your wise men? 1
Let them tell you, let them find out
what the Lord who commands armies has planned for Egypt.
19:14 The Lord has made them undiscerning; 2
they lead Egypt astray in all she does,
so that she is like a drunk sliding around in his own vomit. 3
1 tn Heb “Where are they? Where are your wise men?” The juxtaposition of the interrogative pronouns is emphatic. See HALOT 38 s.v. אֶי.
2 tn Heb “the Lord has mixed into her midst a spirit of blindness.”
3 tn Heb “like the going astray of a drunkard in his vomit.”
