33 On that day those killed by the Lord will stretch from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, taken away, or buried. They will become like manure on the ground.

34 Mourn, you shepherds, and cry.
Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
The time has come for you to be slaughtered.
The time has come for you to be scattered,
and you will break like fine pottery.
35 There will be no place for the shepherds to flee,
no escape for the leaders of the flock.

34 Weep and wail, you shepherds;(D)
    roll(E) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(F) has come;
    you will fall like the best of the rams.[a](G)
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
    the leaders of the flock no place to escape.(H)
