Isaiah 56:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 The Lord God saith, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet will I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them.
9 All ye [a]beasts of the field, come to devour, even all ye beasts of the forest.
10 Their [b]watchmen are all blind: they have no knowledge: they are all dumb dogs: they cannot bark: they lie and sleep, and delight in sleeping.
