Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
The leaders of Zoan are foolish, and Pharaoh's wise advisors have lost their wisdom. How can you tell Pharaoh that you are a wise person, the child of intelligent ancestors?
