Isaiah 56:9-12
New King James Version
Israel’s Irresponsible Leaders
9 (A)All you beasts of the field, come to devour,
All you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are (B)blind,
They are all ignorant;
(C)They are all dumb dogs,
They cannot bark;
[a]Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yes, they are (D)greedy[b] dogs
Which (E)never[c] have enough.
And they are shepherds
Who cannot understand;
They all look to their own way,
Every one for his own gain,
From his own territory.
12 “Come,” one says, “I will bring wine,
And we will fill ourselves with intoxicating (F)drink;
(G)Tomorrow will be (H)as today,
And much more abundant.”

Isaiah 56:9-12
American Standard Version
9 All ye beasts of the field, [a]come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. 10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, [b]from every quarter. 12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, a day great beyond measure.
