10 Israel’s prophets are blind.
    They don’t know the Lord.
All of them are like watchdogs that can’t even bark.
    They just lie around and dream.
    They love to sleep.
11 They are like dogs that love to eat.
    They never get enough.
They are like shepherds who don’t have any understanding.
    All of them do as they please.
    They only look for what they can get for themselves.
12 “Come!” they shout. “Let’s get some wine!
    Let’s drink all the beer we can!
Tomorrow we’ll do the same thing.
    And that will be even better than today.”
