Discovery BoxIsaiah 56:11 
Context56:11 The dogs have big appetites;
they are never full. 1
They are shepherds who have no understanding;
they all go their own way,
each one looking for monetary gain. 2
Isaiah 66:2
Contextthat is how they came to be,” 4 says the Lord.
I show special favor 5 to the humble and contrite,
who respect what I have to say. 6

2 tn Heb “for his gain from his end.”
3 tn Heb “all these.” The phrase refers to the heavens and earth, mentioned in the previous verse.
4 tn Heb “and all these were.” Some prefer to emend וַיִּהְיוּ (vayyihyu, “and they were”) to וְלִי הָיוּ (vÿli hayu, “and to me they were”), i.e., “and they belong to me.”
5 tn Heb “and to this one I look” (KJV and NASB both similar).
6 tn Heb “to the humble and the lowly in spirit and the one who trembles at my words.”
