Jeremiah 25:36-38

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³⁶ Hark! the cry of the shepherds,
    and the wail of the lords of the flock!
For the Lord is despoiling their pasture,
³⁷     and the peaceful folds are devastated,
    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
³⁸ Like a lion he has left his covert;
    for their land has become a waste
because of the cruel sword,
    and because of his fierce anger.
