36 Hear the cry of the shepherds,
    the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
    for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

    and their land will become desolate
because of the sword[a] of the oppressor
    and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.
