foolish counsel

Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; Pharaoh's wise counselors give foolish counsel.
How do you say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient kings?"
Where are they? Where are your wise men?
Let them tell you now, And let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
The princes of Zoan have become fools;
The princes of Noph are deceived; They have also deluded Egypt, Those who are the mainstay of its tribes.
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.
Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail, Palm branch or bulrush, may do.
In that day Egypt will be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He waves over it.
Isaiah 19

Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Ezekiel 30

Egypt was the superpower nation of it's day until God brought it down.
He made her leaders stupid.
There are many similarities with what we see happening in America today.
America's new president proves to be proud, naive and suffering from a serious case of advanced stupidity.
Here is an exerpt from John Mcternan's blog on Obama's trip last week ; April 8th commentary.


Obama's trip was a disaster and a clear sign to me that America is now under political judgment.
He is in the process of destabilizing the world and turning loose evil forces that had been restrained.......
Obama is so weak, and yet the Hard Left in America loves him. He wants America to disarm while the rest of the world is arming as fast it they can. He is truly blind and alienated from any of God's light. He is taking America into destruction and FAST.
Iran has nothing to fear from Obama nor does North Korea. I believe that a page has been turned, and God has taken the world power from the US. Just as the economy is steadily melting away, the world power of America is now melting away. The problem is, this will directly lead to war.

Another example of this is the problem with Somali pirates off the east coast of Africa.
If the stupid western leaders did not pay ransom and instead targeted the villages where the pirates come from there would be no problem.
The same goes for the collapsing economies as the stupid leaders make a bad situation worse with their nation destroying solutions.
God has put it into their heads to accomplish His judgments on their wicked nations which have turned away from Him and His laws.

Here is another example of a stupid 'security' prince at work in Britan.

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that woe and well being proceed ?
