In context

8 Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather to them still others besides those already gathered.”

9 Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.

10 Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.

11 Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:

12 “Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”
