Isaiah 56:9-12
Legacy Standard Bible
9 All you (A)beasts of the field,
All you beasts in the forest,
Come to eat.
10 His (B)watchmen are (C)blind;
All of them know nothing.
All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,
[a]Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;
11 And the dogs have a (D)strong [b]appetite; they do not know satisfaction.
And they are shepherds who (E)do not know understanding;
They have all (F)turned to their own way,
Each one to his greedy gain, to the last one.
12 “Come,” they say, “let [c]us take (G)wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink;
And (H)tomorrow will be like today—[d]beyond exceedingly great.”

New International Version
God’s Accusation Against the Wicked
9 Come, all you beasts of the field,(A)
come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
10 Israel’s watchmen(B) are blind,
they all lack knowledge;(C)
they are all mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.(D)
11 They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds(E) who lack understanding;(F)
they all turn to their own way,(G)
they seek their own gain.(H)
12 “Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!(I)
Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better.”(J)
