36 A sound—it’s the cry of the shepherds
    and the scream of the leaders of the flock—
        because the Lord is destroying their pastures.
37 The peaceful meadows are silent
    because of the Lord’s fierce anger.
38 Like a lion, he has left his den.[a]
    Indeed, their land has become a waste
because of the anger of the oppressor
    and because of the Lord’s[b] fierce anger.”
