The shepherds lament

34Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; roll in the dust, you lords of the flock, for the days of your slaughter are fulfilled, and your dispersions have come, and you will fall like a precious vessel.

35Escape has perished from the shepherds, and deliverance from the lords of the flock.

36The sound of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for Yahweh is devastating their pasture.

37And the peaceful pastures are laid waste because of the burning anger of Yahweh.

38Like a young lion, he has left his den, for their land has become a desolation because of the burning anger of the oppressor, and because of his burning anger.
