Isaiah 19:3

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

The spirit of Egypt - the wisdom for which Egypt was famed (; ; ): answering to "counsel" in the parallel clause. Shall fail (nabquah) - literally, be poured out, or emptied; i:e., be made void ().

They shall seek to the idols ... charmers ... familiar spirits ... wizards - they shall "seek" help from sources that can afford none - "charmers," etc. ().

Charmers (Hebrew, ittim, from at, a low sound) - literally, those making a faint sound. The soothsayers imitated the faint sound which was attributed to the spirits of the dead (note, ).
