⁸ The Lord God says—
    he who gathers the Israelites that were forced to leave their country:
“I will bring together other people
    to join those who are already gathered.”

⁹ All you animals of the field,
    all you animals of the forest, come to eat.
¹⁰ The leaders who are to guard the people are blind;
    they don’t know what they are doing.
All of them are like quiet dogs
    that don’t know how to bark.
They lie down and dream
    and love to sleep.
