34. “Wail, shepherds, and cry!Roll about in the ashes,You leaders of the flock!For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions are fulfilled;You shall fall like a precious vessel.
35. And the shepherds will have no way to flee,Nor the leaders of the flock to escape.
36. A voice of the cry of the shepherds,And a wailing of the leaders to the flock will be heard.For the Lord has plundered their pasture,
37. And the peaceful dwellings are cut downBecause of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38. He has left His lair like the lion;For their land is desolateBecause of the fierceness of the Oppressor,And because of His fierce anger.”
