Isaiah 56:9-11
Lexham English Bible
Wicked Leaders
9 All wild animals in the field, come,
to devour,[a] all wild animals in the forest!
10 His watchmen are blind,
none of them know.
They are all dumb dogs;
they are unable to bark,
panting, lying down,
loving to slumber.
11 And the dogs have a greedy appetite;[b]
they are never satisfied.[c]
And they are the shepherds!
They do not have[d] understanding.
They all turn to their own way,
each one for his own gain, every one of them.[e]
