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?

Die Fürsten zu Zoan sind Toren; die weisen Räte Pharaos sind im Rat zu Narren geworden. Was sagt ihr doch zu Pharao: Ich bin der Weisen Kind und komme von alten Königen her?
Ciertamente son necios los príncipes de Zoán; el consejo de los prudentes consejeros de Faraón, se ha desvanecido. ¿Cómo diréis a Faraón: Yo soy hijo de los sabios, e hijo de los reyes antiguos?
Ciertamente los gobernantes de Zoán son necios; el consejo de los sabios consejeros del faraón se ha vuelto insensato. ¿Cómo pueden decir al faraón: «Soy hijo de sabios, hijo de reyes antiguos»?
Les princes de Tsoan ne sont que des insensés, Les sages conseillers de Pharaon forment un conseil stupide. Comment osez-vous dire à Pharaon: Je suis fils des sages, fils des anciens rois?
Certo, i principi di Soan son pazzi; i più savi d’infra i consiglieri di Faraone sono un consiglio insensato; come dite voi a Faraone: Io son figliuolo di savi; io son figliuolo di re antichi?
Na verdade são loucos os príncipes de Zoã; o conselho dos sábios conselheiros de Faraó se embruteceu; como, pois, a Faraó direis: Sou filho de sábios, filho de antigos reis?
瑣安 的官長極其愚昧, 法老智慧的謀士籌劃愚謀; 你們怎敢對法老說: 「我是智慧人的子孫, 是古代國王的後裔?」
