Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me," says the LORD.

All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest. His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
