The Corruption of Israel’s Rulers

All you beasts of the field, come to devour—
    all you 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 The dogs have a mighty appetite;
    they never have enough.
The shepherds also have no understanding;
    they have all turned to their own way,
    each to his own gain, one and all.
12 “Come,” they say, “let us[a] get wine,
    let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow will be like this day,
    great beyond measure.”
