Isaiah 56:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ The watchmen^[a] are all blind.
    They don’t know what they are doing.
They are like dogs that will not bark.
    They lie on the ground and sleep.
    Oh, they love to sleep.
¹¹ They are like hungry dogs.
    They are never satisfied.
The shepherds don’t know what they are doing.
    Like their sheep, they have all wandered away.
They are greedy.
    All they want is to satisfy themselves.
¹² They come and say,
    “I will drink some wine.
    I will drink some beer.
I will do the same thing tomorrow,
    but I will drink even more.”
