“Behold, disaster shall go forth
From nation to nation,
And aa great whirlwind shall be raised up
From the farthest parts of the earth.
Roll about in the ashes,
You leaders of the flock!
For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions are fulfilled;
You shall fall like a precious vessel.
And a wailing of the leaders to the flock will be heard.
For the Lord has plundered their pasture,
For their land is desolate
Because of the fierceness of the Oppressor,
And because of His fierce anger.”

Jeremiah 25:34-36
Principal of the flock - i. e., noble ones.
Wallow yourselves in the ashes - Rather, roll yourselves on the ground.
For ... - Read; "for your days for being slaughtered are accomplished, and I will scatter you" (or, (dash you in pieces).
Fall like a pleasant vessel - The comparison suggests the idea of change from a thing of value into worthless fragments.
Jeremiah 25:36
Hath spoiled - Or, spoileth.
