34 Cry, you ·leaders [L shepherds]! Cry out loud!
    Roll around in the ·dust [ashes], ·leaders of the people [L nobles of the flock]!
·It is now time for you to be killed [L Your days are filled for slaughter].
    You will fall and be scattered,
    like ·pieces of a broken [L a choice/precious] jar.
35 There will be no place for the ·leaders [L shepherds] to ·hide [L flee];
    ·they [L the nobles of the flock] will not escape.
36 I hear the sound of the ·leaders [L shepherds] shouting.
    I hear the ·leaders of the people [L nobles of the flock] crying loudly,
    because the Lord is destroying their ·land [L pastureland].
