34 Sob and cry, you shepherds. Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. Your time to be killed has come. You will fall and be broken to pieces like fine clay pots.
35 The shepherds won't have any place to run to. The leaders of the flock won't be able to escape.
36 Listen to the cries of the shepherds. Hear the sobs of the leaders of the flock. The Lord is destroying their grasslands.
37 Their peaceful meadows will be completely destroyed because of the Lord's burning anger.
38 Like a lion he will leave his den. The land of those leaders will become a desert. That's because the sword of the Lord brings great harm. His anger will burn against them.
