34 Weep and cry, you shepherds.
    Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
Your time to be killed has come.
    You will fall like the best of the rams.
35 The shepherds won’t have any place to run to.
    The leaders of the flock won’t be able to escape.
36 Listen to the cries of the shepherds.
    Hear the weeping of the leaders of the flock.
    The Lord is destroying their grasslands.
