# All their watchmen are blind
This means Israel's leaders cannot or perhaps do not want to see what is going on in society.
# They are all silent dogs
The leaders are supposed to open their mouths and warn the people, but they do not. Comparing someone to a dog in this society is a great insult. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# They dream, and lying down they love to sleep
This means the leaders are not bringing God's word of warning to Israel but prefer their own comfort.
