8 An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: 'Again I gather to him -- to his gathered ones.'
9 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
10 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.
11 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:
12 'Come ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great -- exceeding abundant!'
