36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard:
for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion:
for their land is desolate
because of the fierceness of the oppressor,
and because of his fierce anger.

    the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
    for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 Like a lion(C) he will leave his lair,
    and their land will become desolate(D)
because of the sword[a] of the oppressor(E)
    and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.(F)
