Isaiah 56:11

greedy—literally, "strong" (that is, insatiable) in appetite (Ezekiel 34:2-3; Micah 3:11).

cannot understand—unable to comprehend the wants of the people, spiritually: so Isaiah 56:10, "cannot bark."

look to . . . own way—that is, their own selfish interests; not to the spiritual welfare of the people (Jeremiah 6:13; Ezekiel 22:27).

from his quarter—rather, "from the highest to the lowest" [LOWTH]. "From his quarter"; that is, from one end to the other of them, one and all (Genesis 19:4).
