Isaiah 56:9-12

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.
11 dThe dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
But ethey are shepherds who have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
feach to his own gain, one and all.
12 gCome,” they say, “let me get wine;
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
hand tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure.”
