isaiah 56:11 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. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 56:11 And the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied. And they are shepherds who have no understanding; They have all turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.


      11. greedy--literally, "strong" (that is, insatiable) in appetite (Eze 34:2, 3; Mic 3:11).
      cannot understand--unable to comprehend the wants of the people, spiritually: so Isa 56:10, "cannot bark."
      look to . . . own way--that is, their own selfish interests; not to the spiritual welfare of the people (Jer 6:13; Eze 22:27).
      from his quarter--rather, "from the highest to the lowest" [LOWTH]. "From his quarter"; that is, from one end to the other of them, one and all (Ge 19:4).
