Isaiah 56:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Come from the forest,
    you wild animals!
Attack and gobble up
    your victims.
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.
