Isaiah 56:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ You leaders of Israel
should be watchdogs,
    protecting my people.
But you can't see a thing,
    and you never warn them.
Dozing and daydreaming
    are all you ever do.
¹¹ You stupid leaders are a pack
of hungry and greedy dogs
    that never get enough.
You are shepherds
who mistreat your own sheep
    for selfish gain.
¹² You say to each other,
“Let's drink till we're drunk!
    Tomorrow we'll do it again.
We'll really enjoy ourselves.”
