Isaias

9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour; all beasts of the forest.

10 His watchmen are blind, they know not, all of them; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

11 And the dogs are strong of soul, they know not satiety; and they, the shepherds, know not how to discern; they are all turned to their own. way, every one to his gain, from the furthest end of it.

12 Come ye, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, very exceeding great.

LVII. 1 The. righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and men of lovingkindness are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the face of the evil.

2 He entereth into peace; they rest on their beds, whoso walketh straight forward.

3 And ye, draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, seed of an adulterer and a whore.

4 At whom do ye make sport? at whom widen ye the mouth, and lengthen the tongue? Are ye not children of rebellion, a seed of falsehood?

5 Inflaming yourselves among the terebinths; under every green tree; slaying the children in the torrent-valleys under the clefts of the rocks.

6 Among the smooth (stones) of the torrent-valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot; even to them hast thou poured out a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meat-offering. Shall I relent for these things?

7 Upon a mountain exalted and lifted up hast thou set thy bed; even there hast thou gone up to offer sacrifice.
