Isaiah 56:9-12

^{Tools
9}

All you ^(A)beasts of the field,
All you beasts in the forest,
Come to eat.

^{Tools

His ^(B)watchmen are ^(C)blind,
All of them know nothing.
All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,
^(a)Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;

^{Tools
11}

And the dogs are ^(b)^(D)greedy, they ^(c)are not satisfied.
And they are shepherds who have ^(E)no understanding;
They have all ^(F)turned to their own way,
Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.

^{Tools
12}

“Come,” they say, “let ^(d)us get ^(G)wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink;
And ^(H)tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
