Isaiah 56:9-11

Good News Translation

Israel's Leaders Are Condemned

⁹ The Lord has told the foreign nations to come like wild animals and devour his people. ¹⁰ He says, “All the leaders, who are supposed to warn my people, are blind! They know nothing. They are like watch dogs that don't bark—they only lie around and dream. How they love to sleep! ¹¹ They are like greedy dogs that never get enough. These leaders have no understanding. They each do as they please and seek their own advantage.
