Isaiah 56:8-10
International Standard Version
Isaiah 56:8-10
International Standard Version
A Rebuke to Israel’s Guardians
8 This is what the Lord God says,
the one who gathers the outcasts of Israel:
“I’ll gather still others to them
besides those already gathered.[a]
9 “All you wild animals,[b] come and devour—
even[c] all of you wild animals.[d]
10 His[e] watchmen[f] are blind;
they are all without knowledge.
They are all dumb dogs—
they cannot bark.
They keep on dreaming and lying around,
and they’re lovers of sleep![g]
