31 The sound is echoing to the ends of the earthbecause the Lord has brought charges against the nations.He will judge all humans.He will kill the wicked, declares the Lord.’
32 “This is what the Lord of Armies says:Disaster is spreading from nation to nation.A great storm is brewing from the distant corners of the earth.”
33 On that day those killed by the Lord will stretch from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, taken away, or buried. They will become like manure on the ground.
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.
