Isaiah 56:10 Israel’s watchmen are blind, they all lack knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they lie around and dream, they love to sleep.
If you were going to be the watch-person, would you not try and do your best to watch out for any danger coming?
It is a sad reflection on the Jews to see such words written down about their leaders – the Scribes and Pharisees!
Yet, this is how God was seeing them at the time because they had lost sight on where they were going and what they should be doing.
Just because we can spout bible verses does not mean we understand them or believe them – take in God’s Word and bury it in your heart!
