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.

    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He has left His lair as the lion;
    for their land is desolate
because of the fierceness of the oppressor
    and because of His fierce anger.
