This Dog Barks

His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. (Isaiah 56:10-12).

Isaiah exposed the watchmen and shepherds of his day as dumb dogs unable to bark to warn of impending danger. Even if they were aware of the looming threat they could not afford to bark because their own livelihood was their reason for withstanding the warnings of the prophets.
