This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
spirit - wisdom, for which Egypt was famed (Isa 31:2; 1Ki 4:30; Act 7:22); answering to “counsel” in the parallel clause.
fail - literally, “be poured out,” that is, be made void (Jer 19:7). They shall “seek” help from sources that can afford none, “charmers,” etc. (Isa 8:19).
charmers - literally, “those making a faint sound”; the soothsayers imitated the faint sound which was attributed to the spirits of the dead (see on Isa 8:19).
