Discovery BoxIsaiah 19:13-14 
Context19:13 The officials of Zoan are fools,
the officials of Memphis 1 are misled;
the rulers 2 of her tribes lead Egypt astray.
19:14 The Lord has made them undiscerning; 3
they lead Egypt astray in all she does,
so that she is like a drunk sliding around in his own vomit. 4
1 tn Heb “Noph” (so KJV); most recent English versions substitute the more familiar “Memphis.”
2 tn Heb “the cornerstone.” The singular form should be emended to a plural.
3 tn Heb “the Lord has mixed into her midst a spirit of blindness.”
4 tn Heb “like the going astray of a drunkard in his vomit.”
