30. The Lord told me to say:From my sacred templeI will roar like thunder,while I trample my peopleand everyone elseas though they were grapes.
31. My voice will be heardeverywhere on earth,accusing nations of their crimesand sentencing the guiltyto death.
32. The Lord All-Powerful says:You can see disaster spreadingfrom far across the earth,from nation to nationlike a horrible storm.
33. When it strikes, I will kill so many people that their bodies will cover the ground like manure. No one will be left to bury them or to mourn.
34. The Lord's people are his flock,and you leaderswere the shepherds.But now it's your turnto be butchered like sheep.You'll shatter like fine potterydropped on the floor.So roll on the ground,crying and mourning.
35. You have nowhere to run,nowhere to hide.
36-38. Listen to the criesof the shepherds,as the Lord's burning angerturns peaceful meadowsinto barren deserts.The Lord has abandonedhis peoplelike a lion leaving its den.
