Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.

ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૫૬:૧૧
તેઓ ખાઉધરા કૂતરા છે; તેઓ કદી ધરાતા નથી; તેઓ બુદ્ધિ વિનાના ઘેટાંપાળકો છે; તેઓ સર્વ પોતપોતાને માર્ગે, દરેક અન્યાયથી લાભ મેળવવા લાલચ કરે છે.
हिन्दीयशायाह ५६:११
वे मरभूखे कुत्ते हैं जो कभी तृप्त नहीं होते। वे चरवाहे हैं जिनमें समझ ही नहीं ; उन सभी ने अपने-अपने लाभ के लिये अपना-अपना मार्ग लिया है।

11Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
