The verses around it, from Isaiah 19.
8 Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
9 The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
10 The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
11 The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
