Isaiah 56:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ Wild animals in the forest,
    come and eat.
¹⁰ The watchmen^[a] are all blind.
    They don’t know what they are doing.
They are like dogs that will not bark.
    They lie on the ground and sleep.
    Oh, they love to sleep.
¹¹ They are like hungry dogs.
    They are never satisfied.
The shepherds don’t know what they are doing.
    Like their sheep, they have all wandered away.
They are greedy.
    All they want is to satisfy themselves.
