Isaiah 56:9-12
New International Reader's Version
The Lord Judges Israel’s Evil Leaders
9 Come, all you enemy nations! Come like wild animals.
Come and destroy like animals in the forest.
10 Israel’s prophets are blind.
They don’t know the Lord.
All of them are like watchdogs that can’t even bark.
They just lie around and dream.
They love to sleep.
11 They are like dogs that love to eat.
They never get enough.
They are like shepherds who don’t have any understanding.
All of them do as they please.
They only look for what they can get for themselves.
12 “Come!” they shout. “Let’s get some wine!
Let’s drink all the beer we can!
Tomorrow we’ll do the same thing.
And that will be even better than today.”
