The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

L'Eternel a répandu au milieu d'elle un esprit de vertige, Pour qu'ils fassent chanceler les Egyptiens dans tous leurs actes, Comme un homme ivre chancelle en vomissant.
