The word “His watchmen are blind”
파숫군들이 소경이요 벙어리개라는 말
Isaiah 56:9–12: the text says, “All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest. His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They can’t bark— dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter. ‘Come,’ they say, ‘I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be as today, great beyond measure.’” These verses carry no formula naming who speaks, and the text does not name the watchmen or the shepherds. The Korean Revised Version reads at 56:10 그 파숫군들은, the watchmen, where WEB reads “His watchmen”.
