11Only, fools are the princes of Zoan, The counsel of the wise ones of the counsellors of Pharaoh hath become brutish. How say ye unto Pharaoh, ‘A son of the wise am I, a son of kings of antiquity?’ 12Where are they now, thy wise ones? Yea, let them tell to thee, I pray thee, And they know what Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled against Egypt!

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish;
the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the wise,
a son of ancient kings”?
Where then are your wise men?
Let them tell you
that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
Copyright 2001 Crossway Bibles
NIVNew International Version (2011)
The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools;
the wise counselors of Pharaoh give senseless advice.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one of the wise men,
a disciple of the ancient kings”?
Where are your wise men now?
Let them show you and make known
what the Lord Almighty
has planned against Egypt.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
The princes of Zoan are complete fools;
Pharaoh’s wisest advisers give stupid advice!
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one of the wise,
a student of eastern kings”?
Where then are your wise men?
Let them tell you and reveal
what the Lord of Armies has planned against Egypt.

NLTNew Living Translation
What fools are the officials of Zoan!
Their best counsel to the king of Egypt is stupid and wrong.
Will they still boast to Pharaoh of their wisdom?
Will they dare brag about all their wise ancestors?
Where are your wise counselors, Pharaoh?
Let them tell you what God plans,
what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is going to do to Egypt.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Surely the princes of Zoan are foolish;
the wise of the counselors of Pharaoh give senseless counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I myself am a son of sages,
a descendant of ancient kings”?
Where are your sages then?
Now, let them tell you,
and let them know what Yahweh of hosts has planned against Egypt.

Surely the princes of Zoan are fools,
The counsel of the wise counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish:
How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise,
The son of ancient kings?
Where are they? where are thy wise men?
And let them tell thee now,
And let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
