Isaiah 56:10-11
New King James Version
10 His watchmen are (A)blind,
They are all ignorant;
(B)They are all dumb dogs,
They cannot bark;
[a]Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yes, they are (C)greedy[b] dogs
Which (D)never[c] have enough.
And they are shepherds
Who cannot understand;
They all look to their own way,
Every one for his own gain,
From his own territory.

And they are shepherds who have (D)no understanding;
They have all (E)turned to their own way,
Each one to his unjust gain, [c]without exception.

Israel’s watchmen are blind,
They are all without knowledge.
They are all mute dogs, they cannot bark;
Panting, lying down, they love to slumber.

They are shepherds who have no understanding;
They have all turned to their own way,
Each one to his unlawful gain, without exception.
