Isaiah 56:9-12

9All you 12wild animals, All you animals in the forest, Come to eat.10His 3watchmen are 4blind, 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 56greedy, they 7are never satisfied. And they are shepherds who have 8no understanding; They have all 9turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, 10without exception.12“Come,” they say, “11let’s get 12wine, and let’s drink heavily of intoxicating drink; And 13tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
