Isaiah 19:3

spirit—wisdom, for which Egypt was famed (Isaiah 31:2; I Kings 4:30; Acts 7:22); answering to "counsel" in the parallel clause.

fail—literally, "be poured out," that is, be made void (Jeremiah 19:7). They shall "seek" help from sources that can afford none, "charmers," etc. (Isaiah 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 Isaiah 8:19).
