34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry;
    and wallow in the ashes, you leaders of the flock.
For the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished;
    and you will fall like a choice vessel.
35 The shepherds will have no way to flee,
    nor the leaders of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds
    and a howling of the leaders of the flock shall be heard,
    for the Lord has devastated their pasture.
