Holy Scripture

Isaiah 56:9

A church father on this verse
“We have often seen the mass of the other nations called "the woodlands." These are the beasts of God's calling worthy to be called up due to their fear. Aquila has instead, "all the beasts," "all his living beings," and then, the second time, "all his living things." Do they belong to someone or to God? For he does no…”

In context

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,

8saith the Lord that gathers the dispersed of Israel; for I will gather to him a congregation.

— Isaiah 56:9 —

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

11Yea, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding: all have followed their own ways, each according to his own will.
