May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm wither away and his right eye go completely blind!”

Isaiah 56:9-12
All you animals of the field and forest, come and eat!Israel’s watchmen are blind, all of them, they know nothing; all of them are mute dogs, they cannot bark; they dream, lie down, and love to sleep.These dogs have fierce appetites; they never have enough. And they are shepherds who have no discernment; all of them turn to their own way, every last one for his own gain.“ Come, let me get some wine, let’s guzzle some beer; and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”

I will demand My flock from them and prevent them from shepherding the flock. The shepherds will no longer feed themselves, for I will rescue My flock from their mouths so that they will not be food for them.
