36 I hear the sound of the leaders shouting.
    I hear the leaders of the people crying loudly,
    because the Lord is destroying their land.
37 Those peaceful pastures will be like an empty desert,

    Their land has been destroyed
because of the terrible war he brought,
    because of his fierce anger.
