Israel’s watchmen are blind , they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around , loving to slumber.
Blind ` are ' his watchmen -- all of them, They have not known, All of them `are' dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down , loving to slumber.
Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:
And the dogs `are' strong of desire , They have not known sufficiency, And they ` are ' shepherds ! They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn , Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter :
“ Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today , only far better ! ”
