Isaiah 56:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Their [a]watchmen are all blind: they have no knowledge: they are all dumb dogs: they cannot bark: they lie and sleep, and delight in sleeping.
11 And these greedy dogs can never have enough: and these shepherds cannot understand: for they all look to their own way, everyone for his advantage, and for his own purpose.
12 Come, I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink, and [b]tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

- Isaiah 56:10 He showeth that this affliction shall come through the fault of the governors, prophets, and pastors, whose ignorance, negligence, avarice and obstinacy provoked God’s wrath against them.
- Isaiah 56:12 We are well yet, and tomorrow shall be better: therefore let us not fear the plagues before they come: thus the wicked contemned the admonitions and exhortations which were made them in the Name of God.

10 Israel’s watchmen(A) are blind,
they all lack knowledge;(B)

they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.(C)
11 They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds(D) who lack understanding;(E)
they all turn to their own way,(F)
they seek their own gain.(G)

Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better.”(I)
