Isaiah 56:9-10
Israel’s Irresponsible Leaders
9 aAll you beasts of the field, come to devour—all you beasts in the forest.
10 bHis watchmen are blind;
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent cdogs;
they cannot bark,
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.

all the day and all the night
they shall never be silent.
You who put the Lord in remembrance,
take no rest,

17 eI set watchmen over you, saying,‘Pay attention to fthe sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, g‘We will not pay attention.’
