In context

6And I will give it to the strangers that attach themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be to him servants and handmaids; and as for all that keep my Sabbaths from profaning them, and that take hold of my covenant;

7I will bring them to my holy mountain, and gladden them in my house of prayer: their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,

— Isaiah 56:8 —

9All ye beasts of the field, come, devour, all ye beasts of the forest.

10See how they are all blinded: they have not known; they are dumb dogs that will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.
