Isaiah 56:8-12

8The Lord 1God, who 2gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “I will yet gather 3others to 4them, to those already gathered.”

9All you 56wild animals, All you animals in the forest, Come to eat.10His 7watchmen are 8blind, All of them know nothing. All of them are mute dogs unable to bark, Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;11And the dogs are 910greedy, they 11are never satisfied. And they are shepherds who have 12no understanding; They have all 13turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, 14without exception.12“Come,” they say, “15let’s get 16wine, and let’s drink heavily of intoxicating drink; And 17tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
