# Yahweh has mixed a spirit of distortion into her midst "Yahweh has judged them by distorting their thoughts" or "Yahweh has judged Egypt by distorting its leaders' thoughts, as intoxicating drinks confuse people's thoughts" # distortion "perverseness" or "confusion" # into her midst "within Egypt" # like a drunk staggering in his vomit Isaiah speaks of the people of Egypt doing what is wrong as if they were made to wander about like a drunken person.
