Jeremiah 25:33-38 Good News Bible (GNB)

33. On that day the bodies of those whom the Lord has killed will lie scattered from one end of the earth to the other. No one will mourn for them, and they will not be taken away and buried. They will lie on the ground like piles of manure.

34. Cry, you leaders, you shepherds of my people, cry out loud! Mourn and roll in the dust. The time has come for you to be slaughtered, and you will be butchered like rams.

35. There will be no way for you to escape.

36-37. You moan and cry out in distress because the Lord in his anger has destroyed your nation and left your peaceful country in ruins.

38. The Lord has abandoned his people like a lion that leaves its cave. The horrors of war and the Lord's fierce anger have turned the country into a desert.
