(Some words not found in UHB: צפו blind of_them_of,all not know of_them_of,all dogs mute not they_can to,bark dream lying_down love_of (of)_to,slumber )
Isaiah is speaking of Israel’s leaders as if they were watchmen who are blind, because they fail to see and warn the people about danger. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [His guardians fail to perceive and warn of danger]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
צֹפָ֞יו
(Some words not found in UHB: צפו blind of_them_of,all not know of_them_of,all dogs mute not they_can to,bark dream lying_down love_of (of)_to,slumber )
The pronoun His refers to the people of Israel, whose leaders these watchmen represent. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Israel’s watchmen]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כֻּלָּם֙ כְּלָבִ֣ים אִלְּמִ֔ים לֹ֥א יוּכְל֖וּ לִנְבֹּ֑חַ
of_them_of,all of_them_of,all dogs mute not they_can to,bark
Isaiah is speaking of Israel’s leaders as if they were mute dogs, which are not able to bark, because they fail to warn the people of danger. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [All of them fail to warn the people of danger]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כֻּלָּם֙ כְּלָבִ֣ים אִלְּמִ֔ים לֹ֥א יוּכְל֖וּ לִנְבֹּ֑חַ
of_them_of,all of_them_of,all dogs mute not they_can to,bark
These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [They are all like dogs that cannot even bark]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הֹזִים֙ שֹֽׁכְבִ֔ים אֹהֲבֵ֖י לָנֽוּם
dream lying_down love_of (of)_to,slumber
Isaiah is speaking of the leaders’ failure to do their duty as if they were dreaming, lying down, and loving to sleep. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [distracted, idle, ones who love their own comfort]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
