3 The Egyptians will lose heart,

and I will bring their plans to nothing;

they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,

the mediums and the spiritists.

3 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.

3 The Egyptians will lose heart,

and I will confuse their plans.

They will plead with their idols for wisdom

and call on spirits, mediums, and those who consult the spirits of the dead.

3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;

I will destroy their counsel,

And they will consult the idols and the charmers,

The mediums and the sorcerers.

3 The Egyptians will be afraid,

and I will ruin their plans.

They will ask advice from their idols and spirits of the dead,

from their mediums and fortune-tellers.”

3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.

3 The Egyptians will lose courage. 

I will unravel their plans. 

They will turn to idols, ghosts, 

mediums, and fortunetellers. 

3 Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it,

and I will frustrate its plans.

Then they will seek idols, ghosts,

spirits of the dead, and spiritists.

3 the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out,

and I will confound their plans;

they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead

and the ghosts and the familiar spirits;

3 And the spirit of the Egyptians will be disturbed in his midst,

and I will confuse his plans,

and they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,

and the ghosts and the spiritists.

3 The people of Egypt will lose hope.

I will keep them from doing what they plan to do.

They will ask their gods for advice.

They will turn to the spirits of dead people for help.

They will go to people who get messages from those who have died.

They will ask for advice from people who talk to the spirits of the dead.

3 “Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;

And I will confound their strategy,

So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead

And to mediums and spiritists.
