36 Listen to the cry of the shepherds and the loud cry of the leaders of the flock! For the Lord is destroying their field. 37 The fields of peace are laid waste because of the burning anger of the Lord. 38 He has left His hiding place like a lion. For their land has become a cause of much fear because of the sword of the one who makes it hard for them, and because of the Lord’s burning anger.”
