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. ‡

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

38 He has left His lair like the lion;
For their land is desolate
Because of the fierceness of the Oppressor,
And because of His fierce anger.”
