Isaiah 56:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
God warns Israel's leaders
9 ‘Come here, you wild animals!
Come, you wild animals that live in the forest!
Come and eat my people![a]
10 Israel's guards are blind!
They do not see what is happening.
They are all like dogs that cannot make a noise.
They cannot warn people about danger.
They love to lie on the ground
and they dream while they sleep.
11 They are like dogs who are always hungry.
They eat a lot but they never have enough.
They are like shepherds
who do not understand what to do.
They do whatever they want to do,
so that it will help them get what they want.
Footnotes
- 56:9 God is speaking to Israel's enemies as if they are wild animals. He is telling them to come and punish his people.
