Isaiah 56:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ I, the Lord, promise
to bring together my people
    who were taken away,
and let them join the others.

⁹ Come from the forest,
    you wild animals!
Attack and gobble up
    your victims.
¹⁰ You leaders of Israel
should be watchdogs,
    protecting my people.
But you can't see a thing,
    and you never warn them.
Dozing and daydreaming
    are all you ever do.
