36 I hear the shepherds shouting.
    I hear the leaders of the sheep crying,
    because the Lord is destroying their pastures.
37 Those peaceful pastures will be ruined
    because of the Lord’s anger.
38 He is like an angry lion that has left his cave.
    And because of his terrible anger
and by the attacks of the enemy army,
    their land will become an empty desert.
