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.
