36 Listen to the frantic cries of the shepherds.
    The leaders of the flock are wailing in despair,
    for the Lord is ruining their pastures.
37 Peaceful meadows will be turned into a wasteland
    by the Lord’s fierce anger.

    and their land will be made desolate
by the sword[a] of the enemy
    and the Lord’s fierce anger.
