33. “And in that day the slain of יהוה shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried, for they are dung on the face of the ground.
34. “Howl, you shepherds, and cry! And roll yourselves in the ashes, you leaders of the flock! For the days of your slaughter and your scatterings are completed, and you shall fall like a choice vessel.
35. “And a place of refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the leaders of the flock.
36. “Hear the cry of the shepherds, and a wailing of the leaders of the flock, for יהוה is ravaging their pasture!
37. “And the pastures of peace shall be cut down because of the burning displeasure of יהוה.
38. “Like a lion He shall leave His hiding place, for their land shall become a waste because of the sword of oppressors, and because of His burning displeasure.”
