(A)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will (B)divide the spoils;
[a]I shall [b]be satisfied against them;
I will draw my sword, my hand will [c]destroy them.’
10 (C)You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;
(D)They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

10 Ben-hadad sent word to him and said, “May (A)the gods do so to me and more so, [a]if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who [b]follow me.” 11 Then the king of Israel replied, “Tell him, ‘(B)He who straps on his weapons had better not boast like one who takes them off.’”

11 The officials of [a](A)Zoan are mere fools;
The advice of Pharaoh’s wisest advisers has become [b]stupid.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the (B)wise, a son of ancient kings”?
12 Well then, where are your wise men?
Please let them tell you,
And let them [c]understand what the Lord of armies
Has (C)planned against Egypt.
13 The officials of [d]Zoan have turned out to be fools,
The officials of (D)Memphis are deluded;
Those who are the (E)cornerstone of her tribes
Have [e]led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has mixed within her a spirit of (F)distortion;
(G)They have led Egypt astray in all [f]that it does,
As a (H)drunken person [g]staggers in his vomit.
15 There will be no work for Egypt
(I)Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.

16 On that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in great (J)fear because of the (K)waving of the hand of the Lord of armies, which He is going to wave over them.
