33. On that day those killed by the Lord will stretch from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, taken away, or buried. They will become like manure on the ground.
34. Mourn, you shepherds, and cry.Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.The time has come for you to be slaughtered.The time has come for you to be scattered,and you will break like fine pottery.
35. There will be no place for the shepherds to flee,no escape for the leaders of the flock.
36. The shepherds are cryingand the leaders of the flock are mourningbecause the Lord is stripping their pasture.
37. The peaceful pastures are destroyed by the Lord’s burning anger.
38. He has left his lair like a lion.Their land has been ruinedbecause of the heat of the oppressor,because of the fury of his anger.
