Exegesis
Each verb governs a subject sarei {שָׂרֵי | sārê} ‘princes’ in construct with the place names tsoan {צֹעַן | ṣōʿān} and nof {נֹף | nōf}, creating parallelism that highlights regional decline.
In context — Isaiah 19:13
The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, the princes of Noph have been deceived; they have led Egypt astray, the corner of her tribes.
