36 Listen to the cry of the shepherds
    and the wails from the lords of the flock.
For the Lord has ravaged their pasture,
37     and their peaceful sheepfolds lie in ruins
    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 Like a lion he has abandoned his lair,
    for their land has become a desolate waste
because of the sword of the oppressor
    and the fierce anger of the Lord.
