Jeremiah 25:35 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Jeremiah 25:35

33 ^aAnd at that day the slain of the Lord shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be ^blamented, ^cor gathered, or buried; they shall become refuse on the ground.

34 “Wail,^a shepherds, and cry!
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.

35 And the shepherds will have no¹ way to flee,
Nor the leaders of the flock to escape.

36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
And a wailing of the leaders to the flock will be heard.
For the Lord has plundered their pasture,

37 And the peaceful dwellings are cut down
Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

Literally, "Flight shall fail the shepherds . . . escaping (shall fail) the principal," etc. (Amos 2:14). The leaders will be the first objects for slaughter; escape by flight will be out of their power.
