31. His cry of judgment will reach the ends of the earth,for the lord will bring his case against all the nations.He will judge all the people of the earth,slaughtering the wicked with the sword.I, the lord, have spoken!’”
32. This is what the lord of Heaven’s Armies says:“Look! Disaster will fall upon nation after nation!A great whirlwind of fury is risingfrom the most distant corners of the earth!”
33. In that day those the lord has slaughtered will fill the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn for them or gather up their bodies to bury them. They will be scattered on the ground like manure.
34. Weep and moan, you evil shepherds!Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock!The time of your slaughter has arrived;you will fall and shatter like a fragile vase.
35. You will find no place to hide;there will be no way to escape.
36. Listen to the frantic cries of the shepherds.The leaders of the flock are wailing in despair,for the lord is ruining their pastures.
37. Peaceful meadows will be turned into a wastelandby the lord’s fierce anger.
