Judgment on Corrupt Shepherds

Isaiah 56:9-12

Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.

Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.

Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:

“Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”
