⁸ The voices of your watchmen^(A)—
they lift up their voices,
shouting for joy together;
for every eye will see
when the Lord returns to Zion.

¹⁰ Israel’s^[a] watchmen^(A) are blind, all of them,
they know nothing;
all of them are mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they dream, lie down,
and love to sleep.

⁶ Jerusalem,
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;^(A)
they will never be silent, day or night.
There is no rest for you,
who remind the Lord.

¹⁷ I appointed watchmen over you^(A)
and said, “Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.”
But they protested, “We won’t listen!”
