Isaiah 56:10

Wicked Leaders

⁹ All you beasts of the field,
All you beasts in the forest,
Come to eat.
¹⁰ His watchmen are blind,
All of them know nothing.
All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,
Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;
¹¹ And the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied.
And they are shepherds who have no understanding;
They have all turned to their own way,
Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.
