8 The Sovereign Lord, who has brought his people Israel home from exile, has promised that he will bring still other people to join them.
9 The Lord has told the foreign nations to come like wild animals and devour his people.
10 He says, “All the leaders, who are supposed to warn my people, are blind! They know nothing. They are like watchdogs that don't bark — they only lie about and dream. How they love to sleep!
11 They are like greedy dogs that never get enough. These leaders have no understanding. They each do as they please and seek their own advantage.
12 ‘Let's get some wine,’ these drunkards say, ‘and drink all we can hold! Tomorrow will be even better than today!’ ”
