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.
