Isaiah 56:8-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 56
8
The Lord
God
, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,
'I will yet gather
others
to them, to those
already
gathered.'
9
All you wild animals,
All you animals 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 never satisfied.
And they are shepherds who have no understanding;
They have all turned to their own way,
Each one to his unjust gain, without exception.
12
'Come,'
they say,
'let’s get wine, and let’s drink heavily of intoxicating drink;
And tomorrow will be like today, only more so.'
King James Version
Chapter 56
8
The Lord
God
which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12
Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 56
8
This is the declaration of the Lord
God
, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: "I will gather to them still others
besides those already gathered."
9
All you animals of the field and forest,
come and eat!
10
Israel’s watchmen are blind, all of them,
they know nothing;
all of them are mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they dream, lie down,
and love to sleep.
11
These dogs have fierce appetites;
they never have enough.
And they are shepherds
who have no discernment;
all of them turn to their own way,
every last one for his own profit.
12
"Come, let me get some wine,
let’s guzzle some beer;
and tomorrow will be like today,
only far better!"
New Living Translation
Chapter 56
8
For the Sovereign
Lord
,
who brings back the outcasts of Israel, says:
I will bring others, too,
besides my people Israel.'
9
Come, wild animals of the field!
Come, wild animals of the forest!
Come and devour my people!
10
For the leaders of my people —
the
Lord
’s watchmen, his shepherds —
are blind and ignorant.
They are like silent watchdogs
that give no warning when danger comes.
They love to lie around, sleeping and dreaming.
11
Like greedy dogs, they are never satisfied.
They are ignorant shepherds,
all following their own path
and intent on personal gain.
12
'Come,' they say, 'let’s get some wine and have a party.
Let’s all get drunk.
Then tomorrow we’ll do it again
and have an even bigger party!'
English Standard Version
Chapter 56
8
The Lord
God
,
who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,
"I will gather yet others to him
besides those already gathered."
9
All you beasts of the field, come to devour —
all you beasts in the forest.
10
His watchmen are blind;
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent dogs;
they cannot bark,
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
11
The dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
But they are shepherds who have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
each to his own gain, one and all.
12
"Come," they say, "let me get wine;
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure."
New International Version
Chapter 56
8
The Sovereign
Lord
declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
"I will gather still others to them
besides those already gathered."
9
Come, all you beasts of the field,
come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
10
Israel’s watchmen are blind,
they all lack knowledge;
they are all mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.
11
They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds who lack understanding;
they all turn to their own way,
they seek their own gain.
12
"Come," each one cries, "let me get wine!
Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better."
New King James Version
Chapter 56
8
The Lord
God
, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
“Yet I will gather to him
Others
besides those who are gathered to him.”
9
All you beasts of the field, come to devour,
All you beasts in the forest.
10
His watchmen
are
blind,
They are all ignorant;
They
are
all dumb dogs,
They cannot bark;
Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11
Yes,
they are
greedy dogs
Which
never have enough.
And they
are
shepherds
Who cannot understand;
They all look to their own way,
Every one for his own gain,
From his
own
territory.
12
“Come,”
one says,
“I will bring wine,
And we will fill ourselves with intoxicating drink;
Tomorrow will be as today,
And
much more abundant.”
