“His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They can’t bark— dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.”

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Isaiah 56 contains 12 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
