8 The Lord and King will gather those who were taken away from their homes in Israel. He announces, "I will gather them to myself. And I will gather others to join them."
9 Come, all of you enemy nations! Come like wild animals. Come and destroy like animals in the forest.
10 Israel 's prophets are blind. They don't know the Lord. All of them are like watchdogs that can't even bark. They just lie around and dream. They love to sleep.
11 They are like dogs that love to eat. They never get enough. They are like shepherds who don't have any understanding. All of them do as they please. They only look for what they can get for themselves.
