36 Listen! Wailing from the shepherds,
    howling from the leaders of the flock!
For the Lord lays waste their grazing place;
37     desolate are the peaceful pastures,
    from the burning wrath of the Lord.
38 Like a lion he leaves his lair,
    and their land is made desolate
By the sweeping sword,
    and the burning wrath of the Lord.(A)

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)
