Isaiah 56:9-12
9All you 1beasts of the field, All you beasts in the forest, Come to eat.10His 2watchmen are 3blind, All of them know nothing. All of them are mute dogs unable to bark, 4Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;11And the dogs are 56greedy, they 7are not satisfied. And they are shepherds who have 8no understanding; They have all 9turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.12“Come,” they say, “let 10us get 11wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink; And 12tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
