Israel’s Leaders Are Evil

All you ·animals [beasts] of the field,
    all you animals of the forest, come to ·eat [devour].
10 ·The leaders who are to guard the people [L His watchmen; 62:6] are blind;
    they ·don’t know what they are doing [lack knowledge; are ignorant].
All of them are like ·quiet [mute; or muzzled] dogs
    that ·don’t know how to [cannot] bark.
They lie down and dream
    and love to sleep.
11 They are like ·hungry [greedy; ravenous] dogs
    that are never satisfied.
They are like shepherds
    who ·don’t know what they are doing [lack understanding; are ignorant; Ezek. 34:2–3].
They all have gone their own way;
    ·all they want to do is satisfy themselves [each seeks their own gain/profit].
