8 I, the Lord, promiseto bring together my peoplewho were taken away,and let them join the others.
9 Come from the forest,you wild animals!Attack and gobble upyour victims.
10 You leaders of Israelshould be watchdogs,protecting my people.But you can't see a thing,and you never warn them.Dozing and daydreamingare all you ever do.
11 You stupid leaders are a packof hungry and greedy dogsthat never get enough.You are shepherdswho mistreat your own sheepfor selfish gain.
12 You say to each other,“Let's drink till we're drunk!Tomorrow we'll do it again.We'll really enjoy ourselves.”
