Israel’s Irresponsible Leaders (ISA 56:9-12)

[56:9] All you beasts of the field, come to devour— all you beasts in the forest.

[56:10] His watchmen are blind; they are all without knowledge; they are all silent dogs; they cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

[56:11] The dogs have a mighty appetite; they never have enough. But they are shepherds who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain, one and all.

[56:12] “Come,” they say, “let me get wine; let us fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be like this day, great beyond measure.”
