36 Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds,
And the wailing of the masters of the flock!
For the Lord is destroying their pasture,
37 And the peaceful (A)grazing places are devastated
Because of the (B)fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He has left His hiding place (C)like the lion;
For their land has become a horror
Because of the fierceness of the [a]oppressing sword
And because of His fierce anger.”
